Chi Ching! (Lady Sovereign On Tour)

For my money, Lady Sov­er­eign is one of the best MCs in the UK today, if not the best, so I’m pretty chuffed to have been asked to warm up the crowd on her mini-​tour of Scot­land. Not heard her yet? Check out Chi Ching (Cheque 1, 2) (5.5MB MP3) - if you have ears, chances are you’ll want to come see the pint-​sized marvel in the flesh.

Here’s the skinny from Stet, the Edin­burgh club pro­mot­ing the tour:

Lady Sov­er­eign is per­haps the most rated, respected and cham­pi­oned female MC in London just now. One of the few truly genre-​defying rap artists that is at the centre of the Grime/Eski move­ment, her wit, lyri­cal flow, pro­duc­tion and phe­nom­e­nal stage show have had the likes of D12, Obie Trice, Base­ment Jaxx and The Streets request­ing her as the sup­port on their recent tours.

Absolutely in keep­ing with every­thing STET, Lady Sov­er­eign is about future-​music, now. Gritty, bass-​heavy, dri­ving, sparse and entirely cap­ti­vat­ing. Do not miss this.

The dates for your diary:

• Glas­gow: 21st Octo­ber at The Obser­va­tory, 138-140 Elder­slie Street.
  8.30pm-late, £5
