Speech Debelle- Boom!

London has a habit of producing outstanding artists and Speech Debelle is the latest representative to follow in the footsteps of internationally recongised hip hop heads Dizzee Rascal and Lady Sovereign. Her debut album on Ninja Tune won this year's Mercury Prize and it looks like her career is set to kick off, big time.

More importantly, she has an interesting story to tell and she actually seems quite grounded. There is no hip hop bravado bullshit, no posing, no gesturing. Just one woman who has experienced the good and bad in life and chosen to document it through music.

I am currently stalking Coda Agency for an interview with her so let's hope it happens. I rarely get to interview an artist that actually excites me and this is one lady I have a lot of questions for.
