Lapse of Honour<\/strong> is a film about several things: the impact your upbringing has on who you are and who you become, the fact that we all need an identity or a sense of belonging, and also the choices we make when we are under pressure with limited resources. Rayna Campbell\u2019s film is part of the history of British social realism and the exciting contemporary black British cinema. The film is set in Manchester and tells the love story of Eve, a teenager with big dreams of becoming a rap artist, finding herself pregnant with boyfriend Tom.<\/p>\n the game is full of angry teens \/ doing music for passion \/ an just to get a salary \/ tip toeing over the edge \/ and now \u2019m balancing \/ coz music is my art \/ so come and check my gallery \/ I\u2019m feelin like Martin Luther \/ because I have a dream \/ and now my bank account shows me \/ figures that I haven\u2019t seen \/ people know my name in Greece \/ I called it vaseline \/ they\u2019re saying that the fire \/ I\u2019m gonna light em up \/ gasoline<\/p>\n These lyrics are from the beginning of the film where Eve is rapping in her bedroom. Eve\u2019s character is a collaboration between Rayna Campbell and Lady Leshurr. Leshurr has been writing lyrics since she was six years old. Since then she has been singing and rapping, inspired by listening to and supporting other female rappers like Nolay and Lioness. A born performer and natural lyricist, she was part of the underground scene, and at age 16 released her first mixtape titled Needle in a Haystack<\/em>, a project that she managed and funded herself. She is best known for her Queen\u2019s Speech<\/em> series of freestyles, which went viral in 2015. She is a lyricist, an artist, musician, rapper and integral to the UK\u2019s grime scene.
