Lady Sovereign came out fighting against the faker Jentina with the cheeky riposte "Sad Ass Stripper". Since then she's released a handful of fantastic British Urban singles that throw ska, punk and grime into the pop with "9 To 5" and "Random". Now the latest Basement Jazz produced "Hoodie" has taken on the national media to show them that this harmless item of clothing is really not worth ranting about - instead of tackle them head on with vitriol she's taken a light hearted romp through Britain.
