With much of what passes as music, especially hip-hop, glorifying inter-communal killings, drug use and abuse of women and vulnerable groups, UK rapper Lowkey’s recent track Two Kites is a breath of fresh air.
In this video, we react to part of his new album, Soundtrack to the Struggle 3 – noting how he humanises victims of conflict in a manner largely missing from the mainstream’s narrative around the Global South.
The story @Lowkey0nline (X) tells here reminds us that war victims are more than just numbers. They are teachers, students and loved ones with dreams and relationships. Two Kites also shows audiences the emotional resilience that persists in these harsh realities.
