BRITAIN'S FINEST NEW MC IS A FIVE-FOOT-ONE WHITE GIRL FROM THE
WRONG SIDE OF TOWN
Lady Sovereign hates being compared to Eminem, which is hard to avoid
these days if you're A) white, B) a rapper and C) really, really good.
This pixieish MC's verses are a storm of nasally syllables, internal rhymes,
false stops and pop-culture name-checks; as her nickname, "white
midget," reflects, she likes self-deprecation as much as she likes
disusing competitors, haters and women who use spray-on tan ("Tango").
In London, she's supported stars from Dizzee Rascal to D12. In the U.S.,
she was the breakout MC on the fantastic grime comp Run the Road.
