Thank god for New Yorker's music critic, Sasha Frere-Jones. Had it not been for SFJ's ever attentive ear, we never would have heard of lesbian hip-hoppers, Yo Majesty.

The ladies - Shunda-K, Jwl. B and Shon-B - hail from Tampa, Florida, and have dedicated their bass-heavy, unrefined sound to giving the world what it needs: "soul stirring". And with lyrics like, "Rub on my monkey, kiss on my monkey, feel on my monkey," they're stirring more than just souls.

We're so excited by the girls' sapphic sounds, we've included not one, not two, but three videos! Above you'll see the video for "Club Action". After the jump you can get down on "Hustle Mode" and an interview between Yo Majesty and The Gossip's leading lesbian (and Keira Knightley's weight-gaining "inspiration"), Beth Ditto.

Actress Keira Knightley has come under fire after doctors blame her rexoid public image for the death of a 12-year old girl. Fighting fatty-hating fire with fatty-loving fire, the skeletal 22-year old claims to be looking to lesbian The Gossip rocker Beth Ditto for inspiration, according to dlisted:

When [Beth Ditto] was performing she started taking all her clothes off. I stood there watching her strip, thinking, 'Oh my God, that woman is so sexy.' She has the most amazing body.

There's only one word for that statement: bullshit.

Although, we bet Ditto's flattered - the singer recently blasted British retailer Top Shop for their skin-and-bones collaboration with waifish Kate Moss.

The Gossip lead singer and known lesbo Beth Ditto didn't pull any punches when she refused to play a tune at retailer Topshop. The popular store - which uses svelte Kate Moss as their model a guest designer, asked the rocksters to perform at their London shop, but the heavy-set Ditto wasn't having it.

I don't think it's fair to put my face somewhere where they would never let me in there to wear their clothes. I want the respect that Kate Moss gets. If they want our music they've got to actually do something to earn it. I can get money anywhere, I don't need your money unless you're going to do it my way.

They don't want to dress people that look like me, that have a normal body, a bigger body, whatever. I mean I don't really know why they want The Gossip to do things for them, I don't understand because if they saw me in the street they'd never give me the time of day. I like me, I think that other girls like me, they need people like me, people who feel really strongly and will say no.

Ditto insists she won't heed their call unless they offer her a job designing clothes for plus-sized ladies. Until then, she'll be a no show.

Good for you, Ditto. We loved you before, but now we adore you!
