An obsessed fan, Zach Slow, bagged a date with Lady Sovereign by raising $10,000 to take her on a luxury night out. He got the money from donations to his website using pathetic pleas, such as: “this night is for ALL of us... the little guys... for everyone who's had a dream that didn't come true, we're going to show the world that anything is possible. Sure, it will be ME sippin' the champagne and handing SOV a diamond grill with MY name on it, but you will ALL be there with me... it will practically be your name on that grill. So let's show the world the power of community.”
Sov, used to a happy meal and a fondle behind the local cinema, jumped at the chance to go on the extravagant night out and met him after her San Fransisco gig.
Zach used his money to good effect, spending it on:
Yacht and private chef: $5,000
Stretched SUV limo for 5 hours: $1000
First class flights to LA: $1000
Hotel rooms plus a suite at super fancy hotel: $1500
Overly priced primo booze for 7 people: $700
Tips for staff on yacht and limo: $180
Limo to airport: $150
Gifts: $200
Paypal charges: roughly $270
Once it was all over, Zach posted this message, which we think perfectly sums up the whole event:
“It's hard to explain--maybe even impossible--how it feels to be sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge with nobody else around, under a sky filled with stars, and Lady Sovereign saying to you "lets smoke another blunt, Zach Slow!"”.
We did something similar a while back for our Grimewatch column. Our writer Clarence took grime MC Shystie on a date to the Natural History Museum. Clarence didn’t have as large a budget as Zach, but spent his money very wisely on a small plastic dinosaur as a present for Shystie.
Ad Roc recently remixed one of her tracks ('Blah blah blah'). Impressive

Lady Sov is hurting, I don't like that weedy shit one bit. she better slow down cause she is so fucking annoying right now. oooh, a role model for a generation of aggressively stupid english girls can memorize some rhymes, hello new generation revolution. it's nothing to be proud about to be a chain smoking retard who talks like a baby while pushing yer baby down Asda to buy more 2-4-1 WKD and Asda Basics white bread and beans. her music's a terrible terrible shit, how did this novelty act manage to bamboozle Jay-Z into thinking she was something other than a one month wonder? oh yeah cause he's the same genius who thought working with Linkin Park would be cross pollination of the genres to end all and be all. and god she's ugly with the wonky eye and all. bring on the next needle dick Ordinary Boys collab, my ears are wasting away from malnourishment and addiction since I heard that hott shitt. I see she also acquired FAT FACE since ''Hoodie'' blew up and stormed the Top 43

grime sucks - the sound of the voices sound like cockney frogs croaking. it's even worse coming out of the fat throat of a white trash girl who's a refugee from Jeremy Kyleland
