This tore into my soul - Lowkey - Ahmed (Reaction) 

I'm a 26 year old man and I've listened to this song a hundred times and I STILL sat here and cried with you as you reacted. Thank you for this genuine and emotional reaction. It's rare. Love from UK.

Researching for the editing taught me a lot and left me in a bit of a state at times. Hopefully soon we'll witness a change in the geopolitics that lead to such tragedies. Thanks CDR.

As a father this track always gets me, the line 'lying on the beach with his back bent, arms reaching the direction that his dad went' is just the most powerful image.

One thing is for sure YOU ARE A GOOD MAN

Catching up on this one, thanks for the heart felt reaction, this killed me too, Lowkey is a much needed voice in todays world, especially with his commentary on the war in Palestine.

I have cried wvery single time i listen to this song and it changes me for the better each and every time.

I'm a war survivor, could have been Ahmed... Thanks for your empathy.

you're such a genuine man, thank you brother

Great reaction. We don’t realise how lucky we are.

Thank you, my dear brother, for your mercy

Your heart is full of empathy and pure, May Allah turn your heart May he keep ours & yours heart away from being dark Amiin. Greetings from Sweden

The first time I watched this I cried... Every time I watch it now.... I still cry

so much love and respect to you and all others who considers us muslims human and our kids as humans, we all are humans , we are not terrorists or hate anyone , long live the humans long live humanity

I know this response is 3 years late but Ahmed is based on a true story. It's about a little boy named Alan Kurdi who was found lying on the beach. Lowkey used Ahmed as his name since it wasn't just limited to that child but also because the name in arabic means 'Highly Praised One' and it comes from the same root word 'hmd' as the name of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) so that is another link there.

The part about philosophy and mathematics was referring to the Islamic contributions to civilization. Muslims resurrected European philosophy and without that, Europe would have never had the Renaissance era.

Thank you. You are a beautiful Soul brother, stay in your heart.

Thank you. You are a beautiful Soul

Amazing reaction. From a Canadian Muslim who was raised in the west I appreciate your reaction. Thousands die every year trying to cross the sea from decisions made by the super powers of the world. As a Canadian I can travel to any country I want with my passport in case a war starts but these innocent people in these war torn countries are trapped because their passport is not accepted anywhere in the world. We are privileged. But I love your reaction. It shows us humanity still exists.

I had to hit pause and come back. That was 17 minutes of 1-2 emotional punches. Thanks canadian dad and the heads who recommended this for introducing me to this artist.

Your emotions earned my sub

Its based on a true story, If you google Alan Kurdi, it made headlines when this poor little boy got washed up on sea, and this song is based on that boy

Watching low-key is like getting punched continuously every 20 seconds .

The sad thing is you have to dig to find this tune and music like this,never on radio tv or mainstream,just keep filling idiots heads up with bullshit music. Lowkey is a powerful dude man and top reaction yo

Thank you for doing this song! I must have listened to song at least 100 times now, and never have I got through it without shedding a tear. Lowkey is a phenomenal human being and makes music that really matters. One love!

I've heard this song so many times. And it still gets me every time. Great video, mate.

I'm sorry that I'm only just coming around to this video of yours Canadian Dad. But this was truly one of the most emotionally honest and brave reactions to this I have ever seen. Thank you for not feeling you needed to hide it and just being yourself and bearing all, we're all better off when we do that with each other. I had to sub after seeing this, thanks again and keep it up from over in the UK!

Salaam to you and your family brother ❤️ _"Cape Malay" / "Cape Coloured"_ from Cape Town, South Africa 🇿🇦 #EndTheOccupation 🇮🇱 #EndApartheid 🇮🇱 #FreePalestine 🇵🇸 Lowkey ft Mai Khalil - _"Heroes of Human History"_ Lowkey ft Immortal Technique - _"Voice of the Voiceless"_ Lowkey - _"Terrorist"_ (Part 1) Lowkey ft Mai Khalil- _"Iraq2Chile"_ Lowkey ft Sanasino - _"We Will Rise"_ Lowkey - _"Long Live Palestine"_ (Part 1)

I cry every time I watch this video. It's just so sad ❤❤❤❤

i actually had tickets to see Lowkey in September, i'm just glad i've seen him a few times before, he is phenomenal and a great person, he waited until about 1 AM to speak to everyone who came to see the show. i cried when he did this song live. great reaction, you definitely should do more Lowkey stuff as well as Akala and Logic (UK)

Lowkey is the goat I'm 3 years late but loved the reaction just the same as if it dropped today much love all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦👊 Please react to Lowkey fire in the booth 1 and 2 if you habent already

This is real reaction from the core nothing for a clickbate respect

Though I’ve watched this many times, when u wept I wept

This song made me cry too. I couldn’t even finish it. When I first Listened to it. Than you for the upload.

I LOVE this reaction !!!!! This is exactly how I felt when I first heard this. This song is one that needs to be accepted worldwide, at the end of it they are our brothers and sisters right ?!

This is one of those song that as a dad breaks me every time...

respect for showing real emotions like a normal person man, this always kills me when I listen to it 😔

It’s people like you with a heart that gives me hope there are good people left in this world 🙏🏿❤️

Your reactions to rhyme asylum got me into to watching hip hop reactions. I hooe you dive into lowkeys catalogue. They did you dirty starting with this one. Ive watched this video countless times and still cried alongside you. My youngest turned 3 today. Great artists deserve great reactors like you.

Salute from Algeria.

Dude your reaction to this shows what a good soul you have, just hit that subscribe button 🙏👍

Amazing reaction this hits me hard being a dad not knowing how tough these people has it

Ahmed was a true 'story'. I remember the incident well. I was a long term independent volunteer in Greece in the refugee camps there. Heavily involved with the entire scene from early 2015 to the end of 2017 when I had to leave completely mentally exhausted by the entire experience and suffering from PTSD myself (all of the long term independent volunteers had to leave for the same reasons one by one as the stress was incredibly high). I was also heavily involved with the refugee boat rescues on Lesvos in the eastern Aegean Sea where Ahmed lost his life. We lost 3,500 to drowning, many of them women and children in 2015/2016 alone. In tears now with damp eyes as the memories start flooding back. Looking at your reaction to this video by Lowkey is refreshing Canadian Dad. You're right, we cannot begin to imagine the horrors many of the victims of war went through in their home countries. I mean what do you say to the Syrian gentleman in Moria refugee camp on Lesvos, with your arm around his shoulder holding his hand sitting in the dirt at night round a 45 gallon drum fire pit as he sobs his eyes out telling me through a translator how he lost one of his young sons who he had to leave behind as he was captured by soldiers in Syria who had tortured his son to death? What could I say to him? That night in my own van in bed (I drove to Greece and back from the United Kingdom not just once but twice 2,300 miles away to volunteer - all unpaid just out of love for humanity and slept in my small old van to keep my costs down) I too cried my eyes out. Put it this way I was howling with grief at the sheer tragedy of it all (often). I could go on. I could write a book about all of this but for the sake of brevity and I don't want to bore you all to tears so I'll refrain for now from carrying on as no point here would be served trying to convey the sheer awfulness of it all. Another song by Lowkey which you might appreciate is here. This one is all about the fire at Grenfell in London which fire claimed many victims. I'll warn you all, it's a tear jerker so get your Kleenex out in readiness as it's pretty hard hitting listening to Lowkey on this track. Lowkey - Ghosts of Grenfell - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ztUamrChczQ.html

Big respect!! UK's strongest low key, mic righteous, akala

Lowkey ft immortal technique - voice of the voiceless

One of the best reactions I have seen to this song....Thank you your reaction meant a lot...

I'm working on and I'm living in Turkey News agency. As it says in the song, I am discriminated against because of "Accent" and I cannot live the life I want in my country only because of politicians. Even if I want to migrate, I cannot go to a place I want or better because I do not have a "European Union passport". Most regions depicted in the clip are regions of Iraq and Syria. We do not experience such a war in our country, but we are exposed to so much discrimination politically that I want to leave my country. Our currency is losing value and this situation prevents me from migrating economically. Thank you for your reaction to this song, and the glimmer of hope in me is always burning. I hope I can live a clean and decent life too. Peace.

Easy,Canadian truthseeker. I'm from England n heard this track a while back when it first came out. My boyfriend played it for me. Lowkey along with Akala n Mic Righteous are the probably the 3 MOST REALIST LYRICISTS that I'm proud to say our country has produced. Obvs there are so many more! Re:This track n the visuals,u can't even say "I love it," cos it's so raw...what's to love? "It's so real." "It hits home." You can only respect Lowkey ( No.1 lyricist) for getting the message across. As an English female who's musical heart has always 💯, mostly swerved towards Hip Hop (then quite a long way after Hip Hop...,Grime,Drum n Bass, Motown,Ska/Two Tone. I'm always interested in what you lucky ppl overseas think of our take on what the tunes mean n represent,whether u get our slang,what we're saying',etc.... I have to say this tho.....ur reaction to Ahmed was so similar to mine. It's fuckin' heartbreaking. I watch alot of reactionary vids. Some ppl say some stoopid things,others r into the cars,watches, slutty girls n if that's what they want, they've acheived it. They should give themselves a pat on their shallow backs.🤦🏻‍♀ They're the ones where the almighty $ comes first. Still,they have to stop being little boys at some point,grow up and realize that there are issues in the world that WILL affect their kids,the environment and of course themselves. Lowkey is a living legend n I felt ur reaction to Ahmed. Like I said,I've only just discovered you but I'm wondering if you've done reactionary vids for any other tunes..... Seeing as ur Canadian I'm proper interested if you've heard/seen the visuals to "TERRORIST" and "OBAMANATION" by Lowkey? If not get ready for his next level! Take care, STAY SAFE 😷 & STAY HAPPY 😊 Love always, Birmingham (UK) Becky.❤&🕊.✌🏼

Man u got a heart . Big Respect .

Lowkey is the truth... banging reaction as normal

Lowkey is dangerous...for the powers that be.

Lowkey is the don and you are as a reactor... keep smashing it you'll get to the bangers

You putting me on to new artist. Your channel is amazing

God bless u. Ur a decent man.

❤️ from indonesia .. great reaction.,thank you man

yeah, one thing you can always expect from lowkey, the song is about to be deep as hell, the video too...worst part about it is he is not lying. ill always be a fan of lowkey, he has opened the eyes of many people including myself who used to be ignorant and next to heartless to the oppressed people in the middle east. edit: for those who dont know, lowkey also does many interviews and speeches talking about all as well as his music, he has debated people from piers morgan, to CNN, to doing speeches at oxford, he is 100 percent an activist who is also an artist, not just an artist.

You’ve gained a new subscriber. Please do Lowkey- Palestine will never die. ❤️

I’m only seeing this now. I love Lowkey, a genuinely brilliant individual and a brilliant rapper. This song always makes me teary, and angry. Thank you for your humble and honest reaction. ❤🙏🏽

Glad you got to lowkey, you should definitely check out hands on your gun by lowkey, I know you will appreciate the message in that one. Love and blessings brother 🙏❤️

Amazing reaction we need more humanity. Lowkey has been blackballed in the UK and banned in America. Thank u for this reaction

📚🧠✍🎤🔥 His music is powerful, his activism is real. He deserves so much more exposure but of course that will never happen.

Real reaction

I don't usually comment on videos. However the compassion you show through the tears you shed was unbelievably refreshing to me. The open mindedness you have, despite skin colour, religion, culture etc, made me feel better about the world and the people in it. What a great guy you are. If only more were like you. Big love and respect from the UK and thank you for being man enough to share this. P.S. This was a true story, the boys name was Alan Kurdi. A refugee fleeing war torn Syria to reach a better life. But never got the chance.

For those who dont know ahmed sounds similar to the story of alan kurdi, a toddler washed up by the ocean and the British newspaper the daily mail, publishing katy hopkins calling them cockroaches and saying we need “a final solution”

His Fire in the Booth part 2 is also great, you should react to that. Lots of wisdom

Hah in regards to show bookings....I booked lowkeys last show nearly two years ago, its been rescheduled so many times. Its MEANT to be on october 20th, we'll see :D

You have a huge heart to show your emotions on here brother God bless stay safe 💙

Great coverage bro peace and love from Manchester, UK via Mirpur,Azad Kashmir, Pakistan.

.........Feelin it! Thanks man for such an open and honest reaction, you got me!

Respect

man your a man with a great heart bro. we need everyone to wake up. without each other we are nothing

Man your an actual reactor. You defo should have more subs 👍👍

Every single time I watch this the tears don't stop. Brilliant reaction shows the love and goodness and understanding in you 💗

There are so many great Lowkey tracks. His first mixtape "Key to The Game part 1" came out in 2004. There are some nice tunes in that series. I had part three in my car for ages. More recently, if you want to cry again, watch Ghosts of Grenfell. Makes me cry.

This was hard to watch, big up man ✌🏽

Thank God heaven is reality. Thank God hell is reality.

Could you please react to shouting at the wall by MC abdul? He was only 12 years old when he released it

You are a good Man. Great reaction ✌️

CANADIAN DAD. YOU'RE A GREAT HUMAN BEING. 👍👍👍

This song was written for his brother that passed, please check it out > Lowkey - Bars For My Brother

Great reaction. Lowkey NEW Daily Duppy just dropped! 🔥🔥🔥

heartbreaking fella

Real and genuine, had to show love. Respect my brother.

I cried too

Great reaction pal

Such a good reaction...keep going

Great reaction mate

Respect keep it real

Love theese videos aswell, its like watching the video with a close friend and your emotions spill over to the viewer, dont be embarassed about that, sent the song to lots of people and nobody react like you do, im so glad i randomly found you looking for reactions to Mic Righteous, you surprised me then and thats why i subbed right away. Really helps seeing how open you are with your emotions and im sure it helps lots more people who feel like showing emotions is a weakness, when it really is a strenght, If you wanna react to a canadian artist i would reccomend reacting to Hollohan - My lost love and addiction, he has 3 songs that are really good but 2 of them about his friend, and 1 mostly about his drug issue, but he has a really strong voice and yeah, im sure you would get emotional again if you can handle it. Thanks again for this video, from all the reaction videos i watch trying to feel the same as the person reacting, youre the first one that does it really well.

Heartfelt message heartfelt reaction .lowkey is a true artist it's sad to see but needs to be shown and heard .

The song is a remake of Roxette's song and the title is "Listen To Your Heart". Even the choice of sample for the hook is a message to whoever knows.

This is by far the best reaction to this song one of the very few who understood it 💥💥💥

Love bro

Thank you for your humanity

love your reaction mate. humanity

Great reaction man, love your humanity.

I feel the same reaction as you did sir, this song is really deep.

Its hard to watch brother. respect for getting through it. listening. and posting your reaction to raise awareness. #ThankyouFromTheForgotten

Please react to more Lowkey

Please can you do a reaction video to the following lowkey videos: 1. Voices of the Voiceless 2. Obamanation 3. Fire in the booth part 1 4. Fire in the booth part 2 Many thanks. Much love from the UK👊🏽

Relatives by lowkey is another one thst will hit you like this. Ive heard it 1000 times and it still gives me shivers
