Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by long awaited / much requested rapper and activist LOWKEY!
While rapper and activist might not cover it completely, Lowkey is someone who you need on your radar as this podcast will prove. It feels like Pip has been in training for this one but it is not a tricky listen - more like one that will continue to reward you on repeat listens. From the start I would suggest keeping a pad and pen by you just in case you want to make some notes, but otherwise it’s a perfect chance to let some pure facts and figures wash over you. From remittances, immigration, tax havens, etymology and what could be taught in schools, patriotism, circular logic, kung fu, houses of cards, the Grenfell tragedy, Operation Legacy and too much more to list. As I say - get a pen and pad ready, and prepare to take on fuel for a thousand conversations to come.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction pieces podcast episode 407. I hope you're all well. |
| 0:06.2 | Today's guest has been requested many, many times. So I was delighted to finally get put together |
| 0:13.2 | with with Loki, rapper and political activist and kind of educator online. He is for me anyway. |
| 0:22.5 | I mentioned at the end of this, I was kind of, I'd been asked to have Loki on for a while. I was |
| 0:26.9 | as a little bit intimidated because he knows loads more than me. I know that sounds stupid, |
| 0:33.2 | but because we didn't know each other much, I felt I wanted to do a lot of prep before |
| 0:40.0 | chatting with the dude. It had similar a few years back with a carler. A lot of people's favorite |
| 0:46.0 | episode of the distraction pieces podcast similar with saw Williams. A few different journalists |
| 0:53.0 | so I had MacHenet, numerous people. So yeah, I wanted to make sure I was prepped and ready for |
| 0:59.8 | this one. So I did a lot of prep, but I need you guys to know that I hadn't told Loki what we |
| 1:05.8 | were going to talk about at all. And that might seem a pointless thing to mention in the intro, but |
| 1:11.0 | it really illustrates the dude's broad and deep knowledge of so many things going on in the |
| 1:17.6 | world at the moment because I would bring subjects up and he would be able to quote, you're here. It's |
| 1:23.0 | a dense podcast, but it's an amazing one. I've been hyping it for a few weeks now. I really enjoyed |
| 1:28.0 | it. I think the dude is hugely important. And I think it's important. I'd discuss this with |
| 1:35.0 | KNO and with Dr Adam, Adam Elliott Cooper. And with Get Seven, with a few people, I spoke about |
| 1:43.2 | credible role models and credible examples. And Loki is that you'll hear his story and his |
| 1:49.9 | life has made him incredibly credible. I don't know. I don't think we actually got into him being |
| 1:58.8 | stabbed as a teen, but we do talk about his kind of early interest in political activism and then |
| 2:06.9 | where all that has led on to. And instead, the reason I think he's important is there's a lot of |
| 2:12.0 | political activism online. Now I think that's great. That's a wonderful thing, but a lot of it isn't. |
| 2:17.2 | A lot of us can't back up our shit. You know, a lot of us will go, I know this is what I believe, |
