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!
