Lowkey – Tears to Laughter single

Today marks the official release of London-born rapper Lowkey's single Tears to Laughter to download on iTunes.

The single was first heard when he performed it as a poem at the London protests against the Israeli offensive in Gaza at the beginning of the year. It has already become the unofficial soundtrack to many protests, university occupations and fundraising events for Gaza and Palestine across the UK.

Lowkey and his record label SO Empire Recordings will be donating all their profits from the sales of the single to the Disaster Emergency Committee's Gaza appeal.

More on Lowkey to follow in HUCK#014, out end of March.
