Some British female trying to rap, and apparantly she's popular, as the radio stations over here in Chicago seem to play the above song out, repeatedly.

You can't make lyrics like those up.

It's that whole MIA, Cantakerous, etc. genre of rap in the UK.

I like it. It puts a different vocalization on rap.

most of the stuff they play on hip hop radio stations nowadays is crap anyway. and i live in Chocolate City. at least this chick has a nice flow and seems to have some good producers working with her.

but what do i know about hip hop? i'm still stuck in the 90s with the Native Tongues family, De La Soul, Jungle Brothers, and Tribe Called Quest.

I dig her. Caught her act at Coachella last May.

Brit-hop is fun (like The Streets), they're pretty clever with their wordplay, and they crack me up because they try to sound all hardcore but they don't sing about bustin' a cap in yo ass, because it's Britain and they don't have guns.

^Because they're chavs. And chavs use broken bottles and bricks.
