Lady Sovereign - Public Warning (Audio CD - 2006) - Explicit Lyrics

"Make way for the S-O-V!" That's the signature shout-out you'll hear hollered with plenty of B-girl bravado throughout Lady Sovereign's debut disc, Public Warning. Straight outta Wembley, England, Lady S. got her start blasting beats out over the Internet from her bedroom in the London suburb's Chalkhill Estates housing project, quickly becoming a sensation on the grime scene. Although she's been snapped up by Jay-Z and given the chance to record with Def-Jam dollars, the tracks found on Public Warning remain surprisingly true to their homespun roots, rendering the disc a sampler of snarky hip-hop ("Love Me or Hate Me") and rowdy party pop ("Random") -- not to mention the manic, ska-tinged tumble of the title track. Backed by the bottomed-out beats of her longtime partner in grime, DJ Frampster, Sov delivers her rhymes with a staccato snarl and a "Who, me?" smirk. Though she's clearly been influenced by idols Missy Elliott and the Beastie Boys, Lady Sovereign is an innovative talent who's about to break out, big-time. You've been warned.
