LOWKEY - TERRORIST? (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)
Kareem Dennis was born in London to an Iraqi mother and an English father. From the age of twelve he began to rap, initially imitating American rappers but soon using his own accent. He began attending the open mic sessions which took place at the Deal Real record shop on Carnaby Street, Central London. The first time he went he introduced himself as Lowkey and was told there was already a regular there by that name; the two had a rap battle to decide who would continue to use the alias, Kareem emerged victorious. Kareem was stabbed at the age of fifteen; the wound severed two tendons and narrowly missed his ulnar artery.
