Lady London’s recent announcement on TikTok about losing 17,538 hours of her music has caught the attention of fans and industry insiders alike. Despite the devastating loss, she remains unfazed and instead views it as an opportunity for growth. The Pop Ya Shit artist stated in her own words:
“It messed my head up. But what I did take from it was that it wasn’t my best work, so I started again.”
Taking this setback in stride, Lady London is now channeling her energy into her forthcoming project, S.O.U.L. This project is unique as it revolves around zodiac signs and explores the intricate dynamics of love within relationships.
Lady London explained that the new project is:
“Entirely curated around zodiac signs. The love dynamic that exist within relationships. We begin from capricorn to sagittarius and we speak candidly about every sign: trigger points, do’s and don’ts, things that aggravate you, your love languages, your attachment styles, your approaches to disagreements…”
Lady London’s perseverance and dedication to her craft resonate deeply with her fans. Many have expressed their excitement and support for her new musical direction.
One TikTok user commented, “I’m excited about this. You’re what the game needs LL,” while another applauded her lyricism, stating, “I absolutely love this! I love your perseverance. And you’re in your own league – ain’t many women who can lyrical rap.”
The current state of female rap has sparked an ongoing debate about its direction and prominence. Critics contend that female rappers, including artists like Sexyy Red, have encountered concerns of oversaturation marked by excessive sexualization, objectification, and lyrics that perpetuate a “pick me” mindset.
Recently, a Twitter user tweeted about the “Pound Town” rapper, saying, “Cancel #SexxyRed An embarrassment to the culture! Those kinda people just ain’t right.”
However, artists like Lady London, Lexii Alijai, Lola Brooke, Flo Milli, and Dreezy are consistently overlooked for the quality of their work because it doesn’t align with the current trends in female rap.
Lady London’s unwavering dedication to her dream and her commitment to producing meaningful, high-quality music shine a spotlight on the imperative for authenticity in female rap. She joins the ranks of influential artists such as Queen Latifah, Lauryn Hill, and other rap pioneers who have consistently prioritized impactful lyricism and storytelling.
In a 2022 interview, Saweetie expressed her opinion that women in rap are on top due to the prevalence of “violence and disrespect” in men’s music.
She noted a shift in rap culture from fun party music to lyrics focused on aggression. The California rapper believes male rap lacks empathy and love, paving the way for female artists to rise.
Previously, Lady London joined a new wave of talented female artists, including Lola Brooke, Kenzo B, Connie Diiamond, and Billy B.
These rap ladies have been making a mark on the hip-hop scene and have been gaining recognition for their lyrical prowess, unique styles, and empowering messages. Their influence is poised to dominate the rap landscape for years to come.
Keeping the spirit of music alive, Erick Sermon, DJ Eddie F, and Jarren Benton have joined forces to release a single titled “This Is Hip-Hop” in commemoration of the genre’s 50th anniversary. As hip-hop faces declining sales and originality concerns, seasoned rap veterans from the “Golden Era” are coming together to keep the flame alive.
