Akala - Behind My Painted Smile Ft. Lowkey ( Live )

[@Danny_LDS]

They should be filling stadiums with their endless talents!

[@EessaTube]

And to do that they would need to sell out to the Corporate fat cats who would turn their genuine political messages into a tightly packaged curiosity with no punch and now power.

[@b11k22]

That last exchange where they were rapping back and forth gave me chills.

[@Dervlahx3]

incredible!

[@CraigStanton-wy6zk]

Real talk.

[@Freedom_4_Assange]

Me too

[@AndreiDaniel]

It's great to see them both on stage.

[@Ben-ix8jk]

thank you for coming back Lowkey

[@DavidBrown-jd2st]

"Trying to fight colonialism with a colonised tongue" 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯

[@MrRandomP]

What does he mean by colonized tongue?

[@LacyBeee]

@@MrRandomP you speak the language of your colonizer

[@thebranchofthemuse3328]

Nonetheless, it does not undermine the verity of their words.

[@mn129d6]

"This mental prison I live in cause I am so conditioned By my privilege, what a strange contradiction To grow up brown in Britain and know that your living Was paid for by a carcass that resembles yours Born in the heart of the empire You're worth more than others just like you But less then the native ones" Wow some deep words right there 💯

[@zachbres9541]

Rarely is a live version better than the original. And rarely does a song have the power to move me so deeply. Akala and Lowkey are two of the greatest gifts to hip hop. Lyrical geniuses spitting it better than 99% of the rappers out there.

[@babycakes5022]

BIG Respect to Lowkey for coming out!! So glad to see you're okay. Alhamdulilah Thankyou homie

[@invisiblegirl28]

I'm so glad to know that Lowkey is alright. I wish he would do more appearances for his fans.

[@ScottySevere247]

Aspiring artists take note..This is how you write and perform HipHop. Beautiful.

[@0613830]

Deadly combination! Sounds so organic when there’s no influence from the industry

[@96Parmar]

music with an actual message

[@TheOneSpurs]

easily 2 greats out of the UK...Lowkey come back already brother!

[@MrNewSeazon]

My thoughts exactly. +1 from New Zealand.

[@Forever_Unboxing]

Lowkey and Akala could easily make an album together and become a great duo feeding off each others lyrics and flow like Nas and AZ. Legends both of them.

[@littlewig200]

Or like Biggie and Meth

[@Forever_Unboxing]

James Marsh Yeah but they only had a few songs together. The others had entire albums together and a huge catalogue of singles together.

[@littlewig200]

Fuck really, i can honestly only think of life's a bitch which i thought was noteworthy enough to explain your reference. I'll check that out now cheers mate x

[@STARKILLER15100]

I’m getting young 2pac and biggie vibes from them.

[@andykerste1]

I still don't know why these 2 haven't made an entire album together.. It'd be amazing.

[@K6723]

Still great in 2015

[@petetong3166]

And forever

[@donaldflores96]

My dream is to get to see These two and immortal Technique Live! :) Maybe someday! Peace Brothers and Sisters!

[@Feeling_goood]

Now that would be incredible!

[@rap.herencia]

Donald Flores maaaaan that would be the greatest live eva !

[@ItsTyzq]

2 UK Gods show us how music should be, this song and video are out of this world good.

[@buasfesbigbrother3004]

i used to see you everywhere a year or two ago , where did you go dude?

[@chargeysa7]

We need lowkey back.. Desperately!

[@mateveres]

we need you back Lowkey!

[@SD23ification]

This song is so moving. First time in years ive listened to a song over and over and over again.

[@TheRedKing86]

What an unforgettable night this was... Great to see Lowkey back where he belongs. If only for a short while, the memory will be timeless. Akala was on fire, and Josh Osho just sent it over the top! Thank you. Big up!

[@petetong3166]

Revisions tough
