Lady Sovereign's "Public Warning" and Tour

London grime-rap sensation Lady Sovereign ventures across the pond later this month to launch a 25-city tour that backs her forthcoming album, "Public Warning."

The much-hyped, 20-year-old, five-foot one-inch rapper and self-proclaimed "biggest midget in the game" kicks things off Oct. 23 in Montreal and will wind her way through the US and Canada until a Dec. 1 finale in Atlanta. Details are included below.

Fellow Def Jam Recordings artist Young Love, whose self-titled debut is due out in January, will hold down the tour's opening slot.

On Halloween, Def Jam offers up "Public Warning," Lady Sovereign's inaugural full-length. The disc features her breakthrough single, "Love Me or Hate Me," the music video for which has climbed into the No. 3 slot on MTV's "TRL Countdown."

"Love Me or Hate Me" is one of four cuts streaming at Lady Sovereign's MySpace page.
