Public Warning - Lady Sovereign (Def Jam)

Lady Sovereign is a female, British rapper on the Def Jam label and on her debut disc, Public Warning" Sovereign brings her style of rapping to the hip-hop table. She wastes no time letting you know she is the biggest 'midget" in the game. Public Warning serves as a strong introduction to the "Lady". "On Love Me or Hate Me" and "Gathering" Sovereign displays serious mc skills with a knack for clever lyricism and wit. On the tune "My England" Sovereign takes you on a tour of the England that she knows and it truly is not all tea and crumpets. Her debut disc is a bit of a balancing act indicating the two ways the Lady can go. She has the look and sound that could make her TRL friendly for MTV but her lyrical skills, intense swagger and a well received set at the 2006 Coachella music festival may ensure that Lady Sovereign stays firmly rooted in the world of indie hip-hop. Make sure to join the gathering on Public Warning.
