Lady Sovereign – Hoodie

Coming from a tough estate in North London, at only 19 years old Lady Sovereign has already made a name for herself

having supported Basement Jaxx (including the massive Somerset House gig), Obie Trice, Dizzee Rascal, D12 and The Streets on UK tour dates. It’s no surprise then that alongside a growing fanbase the world over, amongst those voicing approval are Mike Skinner (The Streets), Ms Dynamite as well as Steve Lamacq and Zane Lowe (UK DJ’s).  There has also been transatlantic approval from none other than Jay Z (who flew Sov out to do a personal showcase for him) , Missie Elliot, Usher, Snoop Dogg and a certain Ad Rock from the Beastie Boys has done a remix of the Sov track Shhh!

The album is still being recorded and won’t be released until  March 2006 in the UK but I wanted to confirm that Lady Sovereign is an Island UK artist and the album will be released next year.
