I came to know of Lady Sovereign when she was in Celebrity Big Brother with the DJ Basshunter. Think they were locked up in a room with Basshunter’s track looping. She pokes fun at herself for being petite in her song and even named her recording company Midget Records.

Lady Sovereign hails from London and hit it big time when she signed with Jay Z’s Def Jam records. The first non American artist to do so. She went on to support The Streets and Gwen Stefani on tour. She soon parted ways with the recording company and released a follow up album independently.

She hasn’t released any new tracks since 2009 and she confirmed in 2023 that she has been ill. I wish her the best for her recovery!
