Editor's note

Lady Sovereign's sharp, quick-witted UK rap

The London MC put out three albums in the 2000s, including 'Public Warning' and 'Jigsaw'.

For the full picture, 'Love Me or Hate Me' gives you the attitude, and 'One Man, One Heart' shows the other side. That's pretty much the range.

She came up in that mid-2000s moment when UK rap was finding its own voice outside the US, and she did it with a style that was all her own, fast, cheeky, and unapologetically British. 'Love Me or Hate Me' got some real attention at the time. Songs like 'One Man, One Heart' show she could slow it down too, but the energy was always there.

Her first album 'Public Warning' arrived in 2006, with early work involving collaborators like Ben Castle and Gavin Dodds. She followed with 'Jigsaw' in 2009 and a self-titled album in 2010, keeping at it for a few years after some controversy around lyrics in her single 'So Human'.
