Okay, see another review of some shit that probably about 0.2% of you rap nerds are actually up on – Lady Sovereign, with Vertically Challenged.
So I’ve been hearing Lady Sov’s (if you can’t spell “sovereign†it’s perfectly acceptable to call her that) name thrown around for a minute now. I guess she was on that Run the Road compilation that Chester Copperpot was making fun of and that I’ve still never heard. Anyway she’s part of this “grime†shit that all those funny-talking British kids are listening to nowadays. I’m into the shit so once I got the CD, I actually bothered to listen to it, unlike all those fucking terrible demos I seem to get nowadays.
Moving on. Review is after the jump.
1. Random.
This song is pretty good. Pretty good as in not amazing. The funny part about this song is when she starts copying Nelly Chingy (who is a terrible person, by the way, to imitate, even in jest), saying “right thurr†and shit like that. Then she’s all like “Well I’m right thurr, (something unintelligible), right there / Right hurr, nah, right here / Now get off of your churr, I mean chairâ€. I find this funny, of course, because to me, she’s pronouncing it wrong the entire time. Fucking England.
Ch Ching – Cheque 1-2 Remix.
This song is sort of cute. It’s good.
Fiddle With the Volume
Whatever. Skiptrack.
Random – Menta Remix feat. Riko
Okay, here’s where the album actually starts for me. This beat is fucking bananas to me. I don’t know who the fuck Menta is, but he gets an A+ from me for this one. This song is essentially the same as the first track, except 1) I can actually get to the end of this one without getting bored, and 2) the guest rap from Riko, who is rapping on the fucking phone.
In jail.
I mean jesus fucking christ, how much more gutter can you get than having a guest rap phoned in from somebody on lockdown? And the dude has bars too. Shit is hot. At first I was a little unsure as to how having some lo-fi’ed lyrics would affect this track’s dancefloor appeal, but on 10th listen it just makes the track that much more insane.
A Little Bit of Shhh
I kind of wish they would continue the melody line that they start up with the bassline in the hook. For those of you who like melodic basslines through, this is your shit on this album. I can’t remember much from the lyrics but the production is pretty grimy. Can anybody explain why the girls are screaming about pianos?
The Battle feat Frost P, Zuz Rock, & Shystie
This thing was touted as some “battle of the sexesâ€, but unfortunately the boys win on this one for me because I couldn’t be arsed to actually sit through until Sov got on. Shystie is probably worth checking out on her own though. Marginal skiptrack.
A Little Bit of Shhh – Smallstars Remix by Adrock
You read that right, it’s another version of track 5. This CD is actually only like 5 tracks, which including remixes is 8. I’m not sure why this isn’t just an EP.
But anyway, yeah this is Adrock of the Beastie Boys on production. This is right up there with the Random remix. Shit is pretty fucking wild. It’s not miles better than the original as is the case with Random, but it’s good. Funny, too, because I distinctly remember dumbing out to this in my car but now that I have it on my regular system it just isn’t quite as hot.
Fiddle With the Volume – Ghislain Poirier Remix
Ghiza_what_?
Grime meets dancehall. Certainly better than the original.
Final Verdict.
There’s a few joints on this – namely, the Random Remix, A Little Bit of Shhh (both versions) , and actually that’s about it.
This is a good but short record, but at the end of the day I think I still might rather listen to M.I.A. And I swear I’ve heard better shit of hers out there on teh_intarwebbe somewhere. Weird that they didn’t include it on this album. Still, though, it’s definitely worth a listen.

wow, lady sov is crap..the first time i saw the video for love me or hate me i thought, WTF are u serious?!!!! whoever thought she was good should rethink that one. send her lame wannabe ass back to the uk. shes a huge joke
All you motha fuckin UK fagits hatin on my girl need to shut the fuck up and suck a dick. yeah i said it you all are just hating because you wish you could have atleast half her street credit so why dont you all get a motha fuckin life? im gonna meet her one day and were gonna bag on all of you.
I dont know wtf guys r talkin bout. lady sov is the shit! so many of rappers sound da same. atleast lady sov made up new beats and lyrics. its not just the same shit all over agian. the first time i heard her was on the song random and i loved that shit. i can understand if some1 doesn’t like her cus it’s not what every1 else is doin but dont hate her just cus she is changin shit up.
ya’ll neeed to stop hatin, for realz. Lady Sovereign is unique. I agree, she’s not like the same rappers that we’re used to. She’s different and ya’ll dont need to be hatin on her just cuz she does her own thing.
Ya all you motherfucken haters need to shut your mouth because your jelous. Oh ya and all you stupid fucks from the U.K no one really cares what you have to say anyways so y don’t you just go die in a corner some where. Lady Sovereign is unique and has sick beats, it doesn’t sound like all that same rap shit you hear all the time. So don’t hate her because she isn’t like everyone else. The reason that so many people know who she is right now is because she is different.
JUST SHUT UP! IF U DON’T LIKE SOV THEN FUCK ALL OF YOU CUZ SHE’S LIKE THE FUCKIN BEST RAPPER OUT RIGHT NOW!
Hello
G’night
Actually she was copying Chingy, not Nelly.
just thought i’d clear that up.
fixed. but in my defense there’s not much difference.
why don’t you guys like her and dont give me the reason “oh because shes shit ” why?
Street cred? Don’t make me fucking laugh mate she’s got about as much street cred as Richard & Judy. Her music is terrible, please go listen to Virus Syndicate or Beardyman instead if you wanna hear some proper UK hiphop, this stuff fucking sucks.
“Blah blah blah blah blah
SHUTTUP! in 1 ear and it comes straight out the other

The Irish Republic has the best maternal hetalh in the world, and I should be fascinated to hear of any circumstance under which an abortion would still be medically necessary in order to save the life of the mother in any advanced country.I am afraid that this lady had a profoundly felt but entirely unfounded fear, and therefore requested a procedure which would, in fact, have been perfectly legal, but of the medical need for which she was unable to convince any doctor.
