The rapper and author on belting out 80s synthpop and the verse that changed her life – but which glam-rock classic soundtracked her giving birth?
The first song I fell in love with
The first song that really impacted me was Cappucino by MC Lyte. When I saw the video, I had that spark of: “Maybe I could maybe do this. I could be a female rapper.” I just loved her attitude and style.
The song that gets me up in the morning
I’m on a single with Sia and Chaka Khan, which I can’t believe. It’s called Immortal Queen, and it’s such a powerful, beautiful anthem record. It’s the perfect song to get up to in the morning.
