LOWKEY:

Lowkey has worked with Immortal Technique, Wretch 32, Akala, Dead Prez and The Outlawz.  Musically, perhaps best known for his two explosive and thought provoking Fire In the Booth freestyles, his socially conscious approach to hip hop sets him apart from most of his contemporaries. 

Sitting in a space alongside long time collaborator Akala, Lowkey uses his music to challenge the status quo and injustices both at home in London and worldwide.

André Jahnoi:

"I GOT A SAM SHARPE MIND AND A TONGUE TO MATCH…"

André Jahnoi is a Liverpool-born hip-hop artiste and organiser whose insurrectionary sound and philosophy are heavily influenced by his Afro-Jamaican heritage. He describes his music as decolonial, using lyricism as a means of challenging the babylon systems that bound the ways we imagine the world and our place in it.

Channelling inspirations ranging from Damian Marley to Lil Wayne to Walter Rodney, André's music combines Caribbean rhythm, wheel-and-come wordplay and radical Rastafari thought to provide the crucial soundtrack to the revolution, with love and liberation the key themes of his work.

His live sets integrate call-and-response battle cries borrowed from freedom movements across the globe to create a momentary oasis of connection and hope for crowds from Liverpool to New York to Colombia. Covering topics from love to liberation over drums from across the Afrikan diaspora, Jahnoi combines a braggadocious confidence with gentle vulnerability to take listeners on a journey through space, time and emotion.

Pique Roscoe & Batfunk:

North Manchester native Pique Roscoe puts pain in his poetry to bring you a story about the grey life of a northern kid trying to make moves.

BatFunk is a UK-based hip-hop artist known for his clever wordplay, cultural references, and sharp lyricism. Hailing from Cheshire, BatFunk’s unique style blends elements of Northern UK culture with classic hip-hop influences.
