and she's no M.I.A , but I really like her music. She only has 8 songs on her album? that's pretty short. "Random", "ch-ching", "A Little bit of Shhh ", and "the Battle" really stand out.....oh wait that's half of the album I liked them after the first few listens She's definitely more humorous than M.I.A....and her flow is a hell of a lot faster. That other woman who rapped on The Battle is good too.....wonder if she has a solo album out. I saw Lady SOV on the covers of two different music magazines last week and thought she must really be something. Even though I still like M.I.A better, I think Lady SOV will be more successful....especially with her association with Jay-Z (*shudder*) and comparisons to Eminem (*shudder*) too. The only thing she has in common with Eminem though....I mean other than the obvious, is that they're both humorous. Vocally she is pretty close to M.I.A.....if M.I.A was a teen.



I like her hair

D*mm, y'all Brits are quick to call Lady Sov a chav in a minute...

Anyway, the Vertically Challenged EP is bumpin'. I suggest everyone check it out. There's a cool remix of "A Little Bit of Shh" by Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys. Oh yeah, and the tracks "Random (Original + Menta Mix)," "Ch Ching" and "Hoodie" are bangin'.

If you dig this album, also check out Roll Deep. They make great grime music, too.

thanks hey what about the lady that raps with her on The Battle?

Hehe. Well, "Verticall Challenged" is an EP, not an LP. It was a way for her to sell records here in the U.S. after the great early buzz tracks like "Hoodie" and "Random" received from American music rags.



If you think Lady Sov is humorous, then YOU MUST HEAR HER DISS OF POP STAR JENTINA. She mocked Jentina's Europop hit "Bad Ass Strippa" in a diss record called "SAD ARSE STRIPPA" (!!!) Oh my g*ddd, she was cappin' on Jentina through the whole thing. If you hear Jentina's original and then Lady Sov's right afterwards, you'd freak.

AnckSuNamun said:

I know who you're talking about, but her name escapes me. She's another UK Grime artist, though.

JANFAN4L said:

I read about that.

who the hell is lady sovereign??

Xavier23 said:

She's the next big thing out of the UK.

:::bumpin' "Menta (Remix feat. Riko)":::

AnckSuNamun said:

i remember reading about her way back in 2002 when she was unsigned and i was like this little girl is a rapper with a ragga flow? lol

she reminds of the streets a bit. i think they tried to market her like him a bit.

Christopher said:

Yeah, pretty much she and The Streets have a lot in common -- they get a lot of buzz and love by the critics stateside, but in their nativeland they're cult figures and are largely seen as chavs.

JANFAN4L said:

they are pretty chav-ish tho lol

ive only seen some videos of her on youtube but oddly when i went to check right now they've all been removed the streets i own both the cd's and i like the concepts he trys to mess with.

As far as UK material right now, I'm really diggin that new track by The Streets that just leaked on the net called "When You Wasn't Famous" from his forthcoming concept album The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living. If you liked anything off his last LP, this is right up your alley.

Plus, I'm really into Stuart Price's work. There's a great album I just purchased a while ago called Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales. It came out in '99, but it got a special 2005 double CD special edition release. And, man, it is up there among the best albums I've heard in years. If you heard Missy's "Lose Control" with Ciara, she actually sampled the vocal hook from Les Rythmes Digitales' song on that album titled "Music Makes You Lose Control."

Awesome.

Yeah, that Streets track is kinda jumpy beat wise, but it marinates after a while in yr eardrums.

AnckSuNamun said:

The other woman who raps on the battle is called Shystie and yes, she has a cd called Diamond in the dirt. That shit is hot. Go get it and yeah Lady Sov rox!

JANFAN4L said:

What about Shystie yo? her album is slammin!

JANFAN4L said:

Whos is Jentina? Is her song any good? What's it like?

dancerella said:

I'm'a check out Shystie now per your recommendation.

dancerella said:

Jentina sang "Mysterious" (which was a minor hit in the UK two years back). She's basically classified as UK Europop under the same umbrella as artists like Sugababes, Girls Aloud, Rachel Stevens, etc.

Have you heard of Sugababes?

Ellie said:

Someone on the org sent me this link before I went to London for the Cream reunion.

I still have it in my favorites page.

JANFAN4L said:

Trust me, you won't be sorry. The beats are bangin and she has skillz. Let me know what you think once you've heard it.

JANFAN4L said:

Of course I know the Sugababes. I have one of their cds. Their version of Freak like me was the bomb trax! I might check out Jentina. Is it crapola?

dancerella said:

if Jentina's anything like the Sugababes and the like.....I'm not sure I'll like her then I only like a couple of songs by the Sugababes.....guilty pleasures

dancerella said:

I should've caught her name. She said Shystie a couple of times in the song I'll check her stuff out too.

JANFAN4L said:

I couldn't really get into the Streets.....but I only heard of few songs by him.

Christopher said:

ragga flow.... I read a few reviews and some critics bashed her on that. They gave the "Snow" treatment.... licky boom boom down

JANFAN4L said:

I'm stuck on "Ch Ching"
