yes yes y'all! what it do, it's guess who? yeah, me, back again with a new feature to showcase what the Woman MC can do and is doing! this week we are going across the pond..or rather she's come across the pond to us, at least for a few weeks. FRESH from the UK, I'd for you to meet...
SPEECH DEBELLE.
in the states to promote her debut album "Speech Therapy", this lady definitely has the skills and the drive to make her dreams her reality.
honest and intimate but with wit and rhyme, Speech Debelle is declaring her space.
in 2007 this 26 year old from South London flew to Australia and began laying the framework for what would become Speech Therapy, creating tracks like Daddy’s Little Girl is a scathing attack on an absent father and Working Weak , a funny tale of office life in London while Bad Boy looks unflinchingly but also non-judgmentally at the attitudes and outlooks of the youths Speech grew up knowing.
and so we have Speech Therapy. an offering that is compelling, honest, witty and insightful. this sista's words and spirit be flowing. and it has been greeted by a wealth of critical acclaim and being awarded the internationally renowned Mercury Music Prize.
this young lady got a lot on her mind, a lot to say, and the skills and drive that it takes to make sure we hear it. she's performing at Drom during CMJ with Miz Metro (fellow blogger for The Bloom Blog and all around cool person, :-)) and Terry Poison so if you're in NY definitely stop by and check out how she rocks! and we say shouts out Speech Debelle, keep doin what you doin lady and y'all keep checking for her because she's FRESH.
so til next week good peoples! lots of dope tings agwan! I had a round table discussion today with some more amazing women which should be coming to a website near you soon! and of course I am very excited about the showcase on 11/5 and all the amazing sistas that will be rocking.
and there are so many folks coming together in so many places to support women in Hip Hop, building and coordinating, and it feels good! so shouts out to all the supporters of the art, it's appreciated. y'all have a blessed week!
