Rap Queen Plans Royal Visits

Following her recent sold out UK tour, the new queen of British rap Lady Leshurr has announced her ‘Where Are You Now? Tour’ for October 2016. Tickets are on sale now.

In the past twelve months, millions have pledged an oath of allegiance to the hot property British rapper through her Queen’s Speech series (currently at fifty million views on YouTube, and rising!

She’s sold out shows from New York to Brixton, and attracted the attention of international hip-hop heavyweights like Timbaland, Erykah Badu, and Busta Rhymes.

With a debut album on the way and the release of her new single ‘Where Are You Now?’ featuring Grime godfather Wiley, 23-year-old Lady Leshurr has made her presence felt. And some.

Since releasing her debut mixtape at 14-years-old, she has released nine more mixtapes, three EPs, acted in the British film “One Day,” and worked various jobs before deciding to take a much needed break in 2014, the same year she released her last mixtape, “Lil Bit of Lesh.”

It’s in those twelve months that Leshurr, the rapper, singer, producer and actor aka Melesha O’Garro from Birmingham, quietly began to plot the stage for what would become her year in 2015, when she released the Queen’s Speech series.

The last few years of hard-graft paying off in the form of long-awaited global acknowledgement and those monumental YouTube plays.
