seriously. how can anyone be hatin'? she puts 99% of american MCs to shame. (look past the age, whiteness, and cuteness. jay-z sure did when he signed her to his label!)
plus, the beats are inventive and fresh, at least to the u.s. market. (i don't know very much about the UK grime scene, except that it also produced dizzee rascal, whose track "fix up, look sharp" you should download if you haven't. oh and m.i.a. - download "bucky done gun" - i'll be checking up on that genre for sure now.) this video is for the single "random", originally released on the "vertically challenged" ep last year. anyway, her current single "love me or hate me" isn't as tight as "random", but it definitely has the "catchy" factor to hook the iTunes and MTV crowd. hopefully, the buzz will also hook clear channel into playing her stuff on the radio.
hyphy is the new crunk, and grime is the new hyphy!

rofl, except she's like 20 or 21. i bet she gets carded in the uk (drinking age 18) even more than i do here (i still get carded). i think i read an article where she went to rent a dvd, and the manager refused to let her rent an R rated film - so she picked up a music magazine and flipped to an article on her to prove her age.
