Lady Sovereign on advice for female MCs, how Ms Dynamite inspired her and beats from The Streets

"I'm eighteen. I get it all the time... 'How old are you? Twelve? Thirteen?'"

Blah, blah, blah...
"Just do your thing and don't listen to no-one's talk. Don't listen to blah-barians talking your name. If they're talking about you, you're doing things good so just keep going."

"I've met (Mike Skinner of The Streets) a couple of times. He's made some beats for me."
