lady sov's invaderation of the usa.

LADY SOVEREIGN is a female rapper from the UK with a hint of grime. Hardcore blog-readers are probs familiar with her, so that last statement is probably unnecessary. For those who don't know, this is one white chick with a sicker mic flow than any other. Try to name someone else. Just try. And I don't wanna hear shit about Princess Supastar. Lady Sov eats her for breakfast. She's even better than Avril Lavigne when she tried to rap on "Nobody's Fool". I know, right? It seems impossible!

In any case, Def Jam just picked her up. She will be the first non-American female on the label. Later this year, she will be touring with The Streets. In laymen's terms, she's kind of a big deal. Stereogum leaked a song called "Gatheration" a moment ago, but for once I'm one step ahead of them. Below you will find a link to download what I believe to be her new single..."Love Me or Hate Me". I'm feeling it a bit more than the first song, so I'm getting really souped for the new album. It's a bit more playful, and I think it has potential to gain a good following with the right promotion behind it.
