Presenting the Artist of the Month in the Industry & RW...

My industry choice is going to be very controversial and i know no-one here will agree but it it's... *drumroll*...

Lady Sovereign

Yes! I said it, Lady Sovereign. I used to hate her and avoided her like the plague but this month she's been releasing some catchy stuff and has managed to get herself signed to the Roc. Who else do you know that done that? (Except SAS) Here's her profile:

At only 18 years old, Lady Sovereign has become one of the most widely appreciated and anticipated female MCs in the UK. Hailing from Neasden, North-West London, the self-proclaimed “Cheeky Midget” Lady Sovereign cannot be ignored. Her gritty personality and unique MC style booms out of her tiny 5ft 1" frame with an incredible sense of wit and lyrical flow that has already won over many fans such as Mike Skinner, Steve Lamacq, Wiley, Obie Trice and Sticky.

Lady Sovereign has recently supported Obie Trice on his sold-out UK tour, Dizzee Rascal to a rapturous response in London, and The Streets at a packed Astoria, she is lined up to play some of the biggest festivals of 2004, including The Love Music Hate Racism event at Finsbury Park and The Respect Festival at Victoria Park. Despite her teenage years, in a short space of time she has developed a dazzling performance with an intense live set.

Having recently had major features in magazines and newspapers such as, The Face, NME, Touch, Blues & Soul, The Independent and The Guardian, and with major features coming soon in The Sunday Times, Rewind, Tense, New Nation, Jockey Slut and Pick Me Up (cover of 1st Edition), Lady Sovereign’s status is rising rapidly and she has become THE artist to watch out for.

Currently recording tracks for her debut album (to be released early-2005) with producers Medasyn, Sticky and Mike Skinner. Her debut single “A Little Bit Of Shhh!” is released on May 24th (White Label). The single is already playlisted at 1xtra FM and has received a great response from the underground through to the mainstream. The genre defining fresh sound of Lady Sovereign is getting everybody’s attention.

RW's UK Artist of the Month

Alreet, this is going to be based on Audio, Text, Activity, Graphics & basically not being a tit, the award goes to...

MCD

Yep Yep, scrolling down the Text Battle Arena and Writtens i see no UK textheads performing whatsoever... and the only main active user in Audio Drops is MCD and the occassional drop by Covert and he's also been the most Active, i am not so sure about the usefulness of his posts though...

Don't need a profile, but he may PM me about his ecstatic feelings when he hears about this...

I knew that all of you were going to say this, but yeah, i'm not biased and don't base my judgements on what other people think. :)

But how can you think she's good though lol, she's annoying as fuck.

From now on, I say we vote on all future UKHH artists of the month.

^^ ahah yeah but we maybe need to have a input on this plexed.

lady sov ... lmao

kano has done better than her this month so has sway

Lmao... you're gay

ur momma will disagree

:( kano has done better than her this month so has sway

I don't even know which label Kano is signed to. Sov is signed to the ROC. Nuff said, as breezy would say 'hop off her ovaries' people.

So, J Kwon being on SoSoDef, and Chingy formerly being on DTP proves that being on a big label means nowt these days :(

yeah what the fuck does been at a big label gotta do 50 is at the biggest label at the moment but do u think he's the artist of the month?

Im feeling North Stars nu tune at the mo

swiss' bit init is heavyy

yeah what the fuck does been at a big label gotta do 50 is at the biggest label at the moment but do u think he's the artist of the month?

:rolleyes:, it's not just a label even though it's a big achievement for a UK RAPPER.. UK! She's made some of the most original songs in a while, i don't know how you can say that about Kano? he's just gone pop!

say what about kano all i said is that he's done better than her and he aint gone pop he's just bringing commercial tune out so he can get big the easy way then soon as he's there he can bring his real music out for people to recognise


yeah north star are good i like on a rise as well wot a tune!

It's so embarassing having Lady Sovereign represent UK Hip Hop in America :(

woot about sas as well they signed for rocafella dont see them making this piss take?

I call for a movement to ban Multi from posting in the UK HipHop forum again for this blatant act of ignorance.

hes right tho!

Nice vocabulary there Bigga, keep reppin those 18 year old Nottz people :(

Hip hop scenes alright in Nottz, in fact its pretty bangin throughout the whol midlands area.. Too many Uni students in Nottz tho, damn those emo's <--- Haha Im gunna play that phrase to the death, thanks Multi

Fucking annoying accent though.

I'm hoping i get an offer from Notts Uni. :D

wots wrong with the vocab on that?

You're all upset because you all made her big by making her pages reach several pages on every internet forum, you have sold her. I would be pissed too. I always said she would have the last laugh.

Can I just ask if there are any people who are related with the music industry or artists other than bedroom DJ's or Fruity Loop forum legends?

Kano flopped. Shame. He couldn't push units. How does it feel the guy who's dick you all wish to suck flopped whilst your worst musical enemy is making it?

SHAME.

You know when you see guns in Warner Bros cartoons, one character has a larger gun than the other character, the smaller guns barrels flop downwards?




That was Kanos career.
