Look Out Nicki Minaj! UK Femcee Video Goes Viral

Published: Monday 3rd Aug 2015 by Sam

Save for a ‘Fancy’ foe, Nicki Minaj has ultimately ruled the world of modern female Rap unchallenged.

Could that be set to change, though, with the mainstream arrival of UK femcee Lady Leshurr?

The lyricist has been steadily building buzz for years on the underground circuit and finally looks set to blow after her ‘Queen of the Scene’ series has gone viral.

Last night saw the latest instalment (‘Queen of the Scene 4’) unleashed and, thanks to a US share on Facebook, has been watched over 9 million times already.

We’ve had this on replay here at TGJ all day and for good reason. In a world that has become a global village by way of the internet, Leshurr smartly taps into Pop culture’s hottest topics in a manner that is digestable to all. Indeed, we weren’t expecting to hear the likes of Rachel Dolezal and Bruce Jenner, but their inclusion re-affirmed how spot-on this Birmingham bred beauty is with today’s audience.

Could major (label) success be on the cards? Based on the buzz and the talent generating it, we sure hope so!

Hit ‘PLAY’ above to find out what the hyper hype is about!

    I watch that she sounds annoying

    • maurice August 3, 2015

      been listening to her for some time.
      she goes innn — and word is she writes her own raps.
      *sips tea

  2. AnnaliseKeatingsNewWig August 3, 2015

    I like her, she has a very South London vibe to her flow. Hopefully she keeps the accent if she blows up, would be nice to see Grime make a mainstream comeback.

    This used to be my song growing up LOL

    Can’t wait for someone to take Nicki out the game.

    • nicko August 3, 2015

      ???????? yall hate Nicki THAT much ? Thats crazy. Queen Onika’s impact

      • Molly August 3, 2015

        nicki is garbage sis

    • Quinton251 AKA Lil Wayne Stan August 3, 2015

      U mean how Rihanna took Ciara out or nah?

      • AnnaliseKeatingsNewWig August 3, 2015

        Hoehanna is barely managing to stay afloat her damn self in her current predicament.

      • Molly August 3, 2015

        No bitcchhh more like how Young Thug took Lil Waynes daddy.

    • Aaliyah stan August 3, 2015

      It damn sure won’t be Ciara f**

      • Molly August 3, 2015

        No one ever said she would be Queen Ci isn’t a rapper but she is definitely 10times more talented then Nicki and Rihanna.

    • Rosie August 3, 2015

      Seems like Onika is having no problems taking herself our. Is The Naziprint at 900K worldwide yet?

      • Rosie August 3, 2015

        *out

      • Molly August 3, 2015

        Of course not boo the queen of rap is struggling big time. 6 singles later and still no platinum.

      • Rosie August 3, 2015

        A shame, isn’t it?
        Can’t even sell 200K outside of the U.S. Even Meghan Trainor’s local ass destroyed it.

      • Molly August 3, 2015

        Yet the barbz claim Nicki is “international” kiiiiii

      • Rosie August 3, 2015

        If you think that’s a kii just go look at The Pinkshit Tour’s EU/UK boxscores.
        Not the whole leg only averaging 75% sold. Death.

    • Weezy Tha G.O.A.T August 3, 2015

      H** shut up.

  4. AnnaliseKeatingsNewWig August 3, 2015

    She does need some polishing though, the actual lyrics sound like a schoolgirl freestyling on a red bus.

    • Toohotfortv August 3, 2015

      You crazy. That was fire…

      • AnnaliseKeatingsNewWig August 3, 2015

        @TooHotforTV She’s good, as per my original comment. But I would really need to hear her on a track before I judge her.

  5. Centurion August 3, 2015

    WTF was that? Absolute garbage. If there’s anyone Nicki should be worried about it’s Tink.

  6. Bravo!! August 3, 2015

    She could be Nicki rival someday. But, Nicki change the way on female rap. Which Lady Leshurr flow the way Nicki raps. If someone would come take Nicki up out the game, she still change the game in her own way. Any female rapper who comes after Nicki will be called a clone, especially if their rapping like Nicki. I notice Lady Leshurr and a few other female rappers rap like Nicki. Like Nicki said she in her own lane and change the game..

    • Toohotfortv August 3, 2015

      Did you ever consider that lady leshurr is the actual authenticator of the style. I mean, she’s actually English so… otherwise, I’m not sure where you hear a similarity. She used none of Nicki’s familiar cadences, none of her vocal inflections, none of her adlib references… exactly what are you on about?

    • RemyMafia August 3, 2015

      Rapping like Nicki? Yet Nicki “raps”like lil Kim, Wayne and Drake when she attempts to rap. Nicki is a pop star not a female rapper.

  7. Rosie August 3, 2015

    Sounds like an industry plant.

    • Molly August 3, 2015

      cute avi sis

      • Rosie August 3, 2015

        Thanks! It’s Halsey, the new queen of Tumblr-pop aka the final nail in Borde’s career that Ryn Weaver couldn’t be.
        Preorder BADLANDS on iTunes! It’s still top 60 and it’s not out until the 28th.

      • Molly August 3, 2015

        Kiii you still don’t like Lorde??? but ima check her out boo she better SLAY!!!!

      • Rosie August 3, 2015

        I actually don’t really care for Borde anymore, just like the GP since Payola Heroine is apparently over 100 spots below Born To Die on the Billboard 200 and she’s running to Disclosure for a quick UK hit.
        I mean, I’m serious. This is just a bit of karma for some gays that were hiding behind her in 2013/early 2014. Also Halsey is a lot less pretentious.

    • Minajesty August 3, 2015

      Sorry sis but this was trash

      • Molly August 3, 2015

        Don’t try Rosie especially when you stan for Onika .

      • Toohotfortv August 3, 2015

        Yeah, no… that wasn’t dope on any level. You have to come hard if you’re going to try messing with an epic track like “Easy” by Son Lux. I’ll assume you knew nothing about this; otherwise how could you be so in love with this implausible attempt? Check out the original (in which he teamed up with Vera Wang to create this video) https://youtu.be/GX-NZu1720w

      • Rosie August 3, 2015

        Son Lux, is that you? Sorry, but no one is checking for you, unlike Halsey who already has a huge fanbase + selling out tours with no album out and is already expected to debut with big sales by HDD.

      • Toohotfortv August 3, 2015

        Umm… no. Are you serious? This is the problem with bandwagon stans. Smh… anyway, Son Lux received his 10s already, my friend. This album was on the top of almost every important critcs list, while you’re just on top of that halsey bish’s crotch. Hop off, boo… you really don’t want me to read you for the filthy stain… oops, I mean , stan, that you apparently are. Please ring me when that halsey gets asked to score a major fashion houses’ campaign. The thing is, I’m not even saying she’s all that bad… she just didn’t really add anything to this particular track which, imo, shows poor artistic judgement. Carry on…

  8. Scoop August 3, 2015

    We may need a closed caption for this one.

  9. RemyMafia August 3, 2015

    This was tight! I just hate that everybody says watch out Nicki… Nicki is lame af, She could barely rock with Iggy. So that we are clear, Nicki or Iggy are not rappers but pop stars! Remy Ma got locked up and suddenly people forget what it means to be a female rapper. Glad she is finally back in the studio and about to bring back real female hip hop.

    • Aramis Scriven August 3, 2015

      Yasss!!! Remy gone be a BEAST while on dat studio point blank etc…

  10. NCA=Nicki-Ciara+Alicia August 3, 2015

    Bruce Jenner????

  11. NCA=Nicki-Ciara+Alicia August 3, 2015

    I Don’t think so just like Azalia S**** Banks failed,Piggy & Dej loaf tried and failed,Tink won’t happen,CuntLi(CL) will fail, this girl compared to the last female rappers she won’t happen/will fail to snatch that pink wig & crown

    • Chaelin Lee (p.k.a – CL) is coming | 재 이현 김 August 3, 2015

      CL is busy happening. Just not in the same flop breath as everyone you mentioned. CL is coming for the pop/dance scene.

      • Don’t hate B!TCHES. Nicki is the queen not Heyonce August 4, 2015

        What you mean egg fried rice

  12. TRUTH SERUM August 3, 2015

    The haters are still seething 6 years later. First it was a lil Kim comeback that was going to dethrone the queen, then it was Banks, followed by Kim’s protege, igloo, now this one. Not going to happen!! Nicki is to versatile and talented let Caitlyn Jr. aka Big Ang continue to have meltdowns..

    Shout out to Tink, she’s doing her thing. She’s better as a vocalist though

    • Oscar The Grouch August 3, 2015

      girl bye nicki is flopping, she can’t even sell a million albums WW! mess. her throne isn’t too sturdy right now

  13. TRUTH SERUM August 3, 2015

  14. Oscar The Grouch August 3, 2015

    • Troy August 3, 2015

  15. Islandboi80 August 3, 2015

  17. Barb-wire August 3, 2015

    Sam stop insulting Nicki, comparing her to these lames wannabes. She is Queen b******.

  18. LB August 3, 2015

    Interesting, different, kind of like it. I did notice something though, notice she is rapping in her UK accent and not putting on a Boniqua from Campton fakecent hmmmmm *side eyes Igor*

  19. cocobutta August 4, 2015

    Her Queens Speeches are very popular.
    Her Brum accent is a bit ewwwww BUT I like her bars so I cope with it. Same with Bugsy.

  20. Don’t hate B!TCHES. Nicki is the queen not Heyonce August 4, 2015
