Album Notes
Alongside Dizzy Rascal and the Streets, Lady Sovereign is among the most hyped hip-hop acts to emerge from the U.K. in the 2000s. Thankfully, neither the hype machine nor her high-profile recording deal with Def Jam blunt any of the thrilling impact or power of PUBLIC WARNING, the artist's 2006 full-length debut. In large part this is because Sovereign doesn't water down her grime roots for crossover appeal. She never lets up on her wild, hard-fast rhyme style, lessens the battery of working class Brit slang, or works with anyone but her spectacular long-time producer Medasyn.
This is not to say PUBLIC WARNING isn't accessible. The album is packed with hooks, from the carnival-Bollywood bounce of opener "9 to 5" to the giddy sing-along on the chorus of "Hoodie," the album's first single. In fact, the disc strikes a near perfect balance between delicious, pleasure-giving production and the unadulterated spirit of underground hip-hop, elevating both in the process for a set that's purely creative and individual. PUBLIC WARNING sets its own terms, and in doing so outdistances any hip-hop release of 2006.

Editorial Reviews
Lady Sovereign combines the digitized, dancehall-driven flavor of Britain's grime scene with the sinuous swagger of stateside rap.

WARNING hardly takes a breath....No filler, no excess...
CMJ

3 stars out of 5 -- [I]t's the grimy older anthems like 'Random' and 'Blah Blah' that stand out.
Uncut

3 stars out of 5 -- Louise Harman's tongue-twisting way with rhyme, delivered in a transatlantic twang ensures she is truly multinational.

[The] rapper's rubbery rhymes and punky energy are definitely entertaining and well worth sampling... -- Grade: B

3.5 stars out of 5 -- The production, mostly by U.K. crony Medasyn, mixes heavy bass wobbles, video game bleeps, '80s ska rewinds and even some jazzy hip-hop.

Rolling Stone

3.5 stars out of 5 -- [Her voice] ensures that her strongest songs have a gloss of novelty, from the playfully rowdy 'Random' to the fits-and-starts wordplay of 'A Little Bit of Shhh'.
