As part of her curation at Le Guess Who? 2025, Ziúr invites the phenomenal rapper Lady Lykez, whose dynamic presence and razor-sharp lyrics reveal an innate ability to command the stage and captivate the audience.
Following the feature of her track WICKED GYAL in the TV series Ironheart (which continues the story from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) the veteran MC releases a new single, IRONHEART, dedicated to the Marvel universe.
Man are biting raps other MC’s / Use Suck titty pon lap your my MC Youts
I do things Femcees don’t do / I’m a wiz send them home Dorothy’s red shoes
Don’t get it confused if I mask like Doom / I’m savage like Fenty this MC’s cute
Beginning her journey in rap at a very young age, Lady Lykez earned respect at local rap battles, standing out with her impressive flow and wordplay. Today her witty bars glide over a diverse range of electronic beats, mixing high-energy dancehall, UK gqom and grime. On the new IRONHEART, the rapper's combat-ready bars fiercely showcase her strength, confidence and sharp skills. Packed with superhero references and bold wordplay, her lyrics paint her as powerful artist who challenges rap norms with pride and attitude, using clever lines to stand out and speak up.
