Rapper Lady London Compares Herself To Jay-Z, What Do The Fans Think?

Lady London’s love  for rapping stems from a deep admiration for written works, and she didn’t realize that she possessed the gift of storytelling through rap until shortly after embarking on her journey within the genre.

she believed that it was in 2019  — a few months after I began rapping. She has always been a student of literature. In school, she loved reading stories that painted vivid imagery through words. She took that concept and applied it to her rap style and subsequently to her music videos.

London’s approach to music-making extends far beyond going into the studio to lay down tracks.

She’s inspired by experiences, mostly.  Music is an expression! She’s inspired by her travels, her interactions, her relationships. And the conversations I have with my friends are the catalysts for a lot of my subject matter because She try to speak for the masses — speak to experiences beyond her encounters.

Recently, she partnered with Ciroc during the launch of its latest Limonata vodka flavor, a spirit that she says also happens to be a reflection of how she shows up in the world.

The qualities that mirror the Ciroc Limonata spirit within me are a commitment to vibrancy, elegance, versatility and celebration of moments. Sbelieve in celebrating life’s pleasures, anytime, anywhere, and creating an atmosphere reminiscent of vacation. 

After attending Howard University before ultimately transferring to the University of Southern California, where she studied and received a master’s degree in science, the “Do Something” emcee’s original goal was to become an orthopedic surgeon, but life had other plans.

The biggest personal lesson for her was learning the essence of timing paired with natural phenomena. While the culture of the music business is fast-paced and trends are quick to fade, I’ve learned that keeping steady motion and cohesion is better than chasing short-lived moments. In an industry where everyone is trying to ride waves, it is more important to be the water.

What’s more, she also spoke to the comparisons that people have made between her and rap legend JAY-Z, a fellow New York native.

It’s an honor to be compared to or thought to be of the same lyrical caliber. He has such an eloquent, yet unorthodox approach to rap — one that was entirely curated and perfected by him. What she admires most about Jay, and hope to mirror in my own career, is his evolution throughout his tenure in the game.”

From 1989 to now, as a consumer, we were able to take the journey with him, as his subject matter came as a direct reflection of him becoming who he always knew he’d be,” she continued. I love that he always rapped from the perspective of where he was at that moment, and didn’t shy away from it. From Reasonable Doubt to 4:44, we saw 21 years of spiritual, financial and mental growth. So She wears the title of female Jay as a badge of honor and she hopes to lyrically uphold the standard. 

As far as what’s next for Lady London, her hope is to connect with fans in real life, to potential tour and to create new music.

She hope to see and interact with more of her supporters. Prioritizing her peace of mind, and setting clear goals and intentions!
