─ Release notes ─────────────────────────────────────── ─── ─ ─
As her full-length debut was set to drop, the buzz
around the brash U.K. MC named Lady Sovereign was
unavoidable. Before most everyone actually heard her,
they knew a few things: she was the first non-American
to get signed to Def Jam; she had her chance with the
ultra-hip producers the Neptunes and came up with
nothing; and Jay-Z signed her on a single freestyle.
Thankfully Public Warning is stunning, better than the
hype machine could ever paint it, with jaw-dropping,
busy production and sharp, spunky lyrics that whiz by
and back up this pint-sized rebel's serious b-girl
stance. What's most brilliant is that despite the hype,
and most likely because folks like the Neptunes are not
on here, the album captures the talented rapper with
only one foot out of her parent's flat, barely touched
by the dreadful "music business" and one step above
freestyles posted on U.K. garage message boards. Rules
are still made to be broken, slang is slung all over
the place, and belching into the mic is still fun,
especially when your producer -- in this case, the
razor-sharp Medasyn -- can shuffle it into an
impossible mix that ping-pongs like the Streets in
double-time. Sovereign is unmistakably an unposh Brit,
and "My England" declares, "London ain't all crumpets
and trumpets/It's one big slum pit." While some U.K.
street slang requires a search engine to make sense to
the non-Brit, her preference for playing her PS2
instead of going to a job and general slacker attitude
are identifiable to dropouts everywhere. In fact,
either the great "Hoodie" or the simple but effective
"Love Me or Hate Me" could be a worldwide
crunchy-people anthem, and relating to "Tango" is easy
if you've ever known some dreadful beautiful person who
fake-tanned until they were horribly, entirely orange.
The arc of the album shows some mercy for the U.K. rap
novice, easing the listener in with smoother tracks
before the Chingy-biting "Random" ("Some English MCs
getting' twisted/Saying cookies instead of biscuits")
and the hyper title track ("I'm that walking
dictionary, I'm that talking thesaurus/I'm that
old-school prehistoric Soversaurus") ramp up to the raw
and whirlwind middle section. The only time the album
feels anything close to forced or touched by posh hands
is when a concession is made for the Yanks and when
Missy Elliott is needlessly tacked onto the "Love Me or
Hate Me" remix. Otherwise, Def Jam stays wisely out of
Sov and Medasyn's way, and the thrilling tracks are
just enough dog, just enough leash. It's something her
hardcore fans are well aware of, since the bulk of the
album has been available previously on indie 12"s and
EPs. For them, Public Warning is a slight
disappointment, a mere compilation with a handful of
new tracks. For everyone else, it's an exciting
introduction to an extraordinary artist captured at
just the right time.
