After months of speculating an official release date and two revised tracklistings we finally have the sophomore album from London rapper and political activist Lowkey, crafted 100% independently with no aid from a record label. The end result of the long awaited Soundtrack To The Struggle... is a 26-track LP including six album skits.  Since his debut offering Dear Listener released in 2009, Lowkey’s career has incorporated politics, speaking candidly on his opinions about injustice and inequality across the Middle East and at home on various platforms, speaking against government cuts and at anti war and racism meetings and rallies. With little mainstream support of his recent material, 10 tracks already in the consciousness of Lowkey fans and followers and two controversial videos banned from TV, how will this highly anticipated album stand up?
