Lady Sovereign is the first non-American female to ever be signed to Def Jam Record Label. With the single 'Hoodie', Lady Sovereign released her full-length debut, Public Warning, on Def Jam in 2006.

Reid seated next to him, Jay-Z asked for one on-the-spot freestyle from Sovereign before offering her a contract with Def Jam. This marked her foray into the American music scene. Lady Sovereign capped off 2005 by meeting with the American hip hop artist and CEO of the labels Def Jam Recordings and Roc-A-Fella Records, Jay-Z. She released yet another EP, but was limited for US radios Size Don't Matter! In April 2006 she released her second EP, Blah Blah in the UK. On 15 November 2005, Chocolate Industries released the Vertically Challenged EP, which collected most of her singles recorded to date. While 'A Little Bit of Shhh!', '9 to 5', and ' Sad Arse Stripah' were selling well, free Internet-only freestyles like 'Tango' and 'Cheeky' were becoming just as popular. 'The Battle' began a string of singles that would push Lady Sovereign into the spotlight. Her mother, Nicola, was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour and died on 14 March ( Mothering Sunday in the UK) 2010. She released a number of solo records and opened for Basement Jaxx, the Streets, Dizzee Rascal, D12 and Obie Trice. Lady Sovereign signed with Universal in 2004. She told Newsweek in 2006 that comments initially ran along the lines of, 'You're white. Lady Sovereign began uploading some of her songs and a picture to various music web sites when she was 15. she opened so many doors for us girls, MCs are real, they write their own stuff, they rap about what they know, the stuff around them.' Her presence, her image, the way she does everything. Dynamite's track 'Boooo!' in 2001 it inspired me. Lady Sovereign grew up in Chalkhill Estate in Wembley Park, London.
