EXCLUSIVE –
Lady London has some dream collaborations she’d love to nab one day – and one of them would mean so much, she’d be all set with her career after that.
On a new episode of the HipHopDX show The Bar Code published on Thursday (February 29), the Bronx native revealed her biggest dream feature would be none other than JAY-Z.
“Jay is my ultimate dream feature,” she said. “I feel like I would just put my jersey in the rafters after that. Like if I get a JAY-Z feature and get him to show for the video somehow, I don’t even wanna rap no more. That’s it.”
The convo begins at the 22:46 mark below.
Lady London has already garnered praise from legendary figures in the game including Big Daddy Kane, who was quite impressed with her bars on Red Bull’s 60 Second Freestyle series in November.
“Say it with my chest, ’cause I’m the best to ever do it/ And my wrist is like the wettest, so it’s best to call me fluid/ You know God has just been blessing me with every opportunity/ I look into the crowd and can’t ignore that I influence it/ I see patterns — no, I see past ’em/ Like Saturn, I got all of these rings that I back slap ’em, whack, whack ’em/ And now all of these rappers is backtracking, backpacking/ I have carried the game in my knapsack,” Lady raps.

Reposting the video to Instagram, Kane wrote: “Lyric Lovers, first listen to the Barz. Then listen again to the flow changes. We’ll wait until next week to discuss that Saturn line. @ladylondon #redbullsixtysecondsolo #twerkfreebarz”
“This gave me Ladybug Mecca vibes and cadence [fire emoji],” wrote one fan in the comment section. “Lady London is the absolute truth. Bars, cadence, tone. She took her time, but I promise she’s about to be in the top spots conversation,” penned another.
The clip also caught the attention of Public Enemy frontman Chuck D, who chimed in, writing: “FEMALE IS THE FUTURE OF HIP-HOP!
Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time Kane has shown the “Yea, Yea” rhymer some love.

Earlier this year, while a guest on radio station 97.9 The Box, the “Smooth Operator” gave flowers to J. Cole, all the while shouting out Kendrick Lamar, Rapsody, and Lady London.
“J. Cole is my hero,” he said when asked which new-generation rappers inspire him. “That’s my dude right there. J. Cole is my hero. I love Kendrick as well. Rhapsody, Lady London. Lady London is a monster. She is incredible.”
