CMy News | Lioness & Lady Leshurr make MTV's Best Female Emcees list

Last night MTV took to it's Iggy wesbite to state who the hottest Female Emcees are across the globe. What was most surprising, was the appearance of two of the UK's hottest femcees Lady Leshurr and Lioness. 


With only twelve cadidates on the list, Lady Leshurr makes it to the number seven spot and MTV stated, "Her baby face and childlike voice only make her razor-sharp rhymes and NSFW language more of a punch in the brain." Well if that isn't a confidence boost I don't know what is? The sheer fact that these Americans even know who she is (as she's highly rated on this side of the pond), is defintitely a statement! Leshurr sure has come a long way from her early days of spitting bars, still unsigned we'll see if this list gives her a boost.


Just missing the number one spot is Lioness, the roarness in her lyrics is in my opionion, one of the reason why she's at the top of this list. MTV says, "Currently the pride of UK hip hop and grime, [she] can bounce over the trickiest beats like a Super Ball and spins a stunning spectrum of lyrical moods – from alluring to terrifying to wacky." Although she did miss the number one spot to Chilean rapper Ana Tijoux, Lioness should still feel as sense of achievement. This is not only big for them, but for the music that Lioness and Lady Leshurr represent and work so hard to bring exposure to - UK music.


Sidenote: If you haven't already check out this remix with Lady Leshurr, Lioness and A.Dot on Ms.Dynamite's Neva Soft for SoulCulture. All four of the ladies smash it and it's great to see them working together. Let's hope that 2012 proves great in more ways the one for all of these talented artists.
