My Take

Lady Sovereign is one of those artists I find more interesting in hindsight than the charts ever credited. A pint-sized rapper from London who Jay-Z personally signed to Def Jam in 2005 is a remarkable story on its own, but what grabs me is the audacity of selling sharp British grime energy to an American market that wasn't built for it. Tracks like 'Love Me or Hate Me' practically dared you to dismiss her. That polarizing edge is exactly why I rate her. She was unmistakably herself, and that authenticity ages well.
