Little Simz! 😍

+Little Simz Sick Interview

[@soloso89]

+Little Simz Looking Forward To The Album

[@jahbless2114]

+Little Simz big ups to you!

[@illytimmy4662]

Great album King Simz

[@inphanta]

I have said it before and I'll say it again: the most innovative rappers right now are British black women. Simz is a phenomenal rapper who deserves more recognition - and kudos to her for staying independent and not letting majors compromise her.

[@kevintwine2315]

inphanta British rappers are incredible all round,we’ve taken lyricism to a whole different level over here

[@stoneagealienz874]

any other ones you can recommend?

[@JonahUniverse]

17:53 is when the bar dropping begins for those who came for that purpose only (me)

[@lamarmalcom1544]

Thank u

[@TheKiddballer21]

she is so beautiful wow

[@pagethreemodel]

She really is. I envy her skin colouring too lol.

[@juksynice1137]

King Simbi... holding down interview very articulate and eloquently and not even nervous to throw down bars we salute you!.

[@storm9585]

She is so intelligent, I love that..I love hearing her speak, she's so self aware & super talented

[@FlyyrPopulation]

I also love how she flipped it and started interviewing pete lol

[@nickdijcj1]

simz is incredible, no denying

[@gavindanaher5430]

too hyped for the album. need more female rappers like her. tink and rapsody are good too

[@evocee9950]

Chelsea reject too !

[@AfroVibez]

she makes me reflect that us the consumers and fans need to take ownership of industry rather than the corporations taking ownership of the art we love - how many artist come out and say, 'they don't wish to sacrifice their integrity and dignity to get were they want to be . . .' and then cave in.

[@nyeeezy]

Love women with her skin colour

[@FlyyrPopulation]

I love readin all these positive comments!! I've been following simz since her E.D.G.E. project. she is SOOO talented and empowering, she's exactly what hip hop needs right now. I strongly suggest anyone watching and reading this to go download all of her projects and get hip to the space space space space space .. lol

[@chuchon49]

this girl is the truth

[@BABROVSKI]

lil simz been on, she def deserves way more exposure

[@mustafanoor9]

If Kendrick likes her, then she must be good

[@1oli4r]

Does he?

[@crisleroi299]

+mustafanoor9 If kendrick likes shit sandwiches with spicy mustard, does that mean we should all eat shit sandwiches with mustard?

[@TheKiddballer21]

+Cris LeRoi in short, Yes.

[@Reuben_LeRoy]

+Cris LeRoi you could've used a better analogy tbh. Kendrick as he's one of the best in our generation as agreed with across the board for the most part is a good co-sign of approval, stop hatin

[@crisleroi299]

I like Kendrick, but just because he likes something doesn't automatically make it good.

[@SonnyDano]

I don't get how some people act like Rosenberg is the problem with Hot97 when he stays bringing less famous rappers on his show and giving them a look that would be hard to get otherwise. What other show in New York would play Chinx, Oddisee, Little Simz, Kendrick, Sean Price, YG and Remy Banks in the same hour?

[@kokolatte825]

Sha I think Rosenberg does more hot 97 than anyone else. He can be over the top in some interviews tho.

[@sja4013]

why does american radio seem more up on her than uk radio lol? i dont get it, shes not big at all in the uk (yet)

[@bubblegum56756]

Its sad that not even her own country takes note of her and how good she is. She has to go to ther countries to get her name out there

[@user-ix4wr9ve3g]

Because this where hip hop is from and more people like it here.

[@TheKondinho]

+S JA UK Radio doesn't really have a following like that no more to be fair. Especially since Logan Sama left Kiss.

[@truthag6769]

Isaac Gonzalez but other UK hip hop artists in the UK have a higher fanbase

[@dimitrineal2840]

cuz she's getting cosigns from kendrick and pro era

[@BlackStarNain]

I wish he would stop saying Grime is UK Hip Hop. Grime is not UK Hip Hop. UK Hip Hop refers to people like Roots Manuva, Lowkey, Akala and Jehst etc. UK Rap refers to Giggs, Nines and Young Spray etc. Grime refers to Wiley, Dizzee , Kano , Skepta etc. Grime comes from UK garage, which essentially came from US Garage/House, which came from Disco and electronic music. Hip Hop also came from Disco music as well therefore how can Grime be Hip Hop. Grime is heavily influenced by Hip Hop and their sounds contain more similarities year by year, but that doesn't make it the root of Grime. Grime has other influences as well such as Dancehall and Jungle.

[@dalekdude180]

+BlackStarNain BSN Dude thank you so much for summarizing it. I know different ones that you listed. Lowkey and Akala from Hip Hop. Wiley, Dizzee Rascal, and Kano from Grim. Dude thank you so much for describing some of the differences.

[@myles199]

+BlackStarNain BSN Nethertheless Grime is technically a sub genre or rap as is hip hop....

[@BlackStarNain]

Myles Jeremiah I hear where you're coming from, but it really isn't. For example, Grime would still exist without the "rapping" element. It's the instrumental that is Grime, which came from Garage, Bashment and Drum and Bass music. Remove the beat an it's not grime anymore. Essentially all the genres we both mentioned (including hip hop and grime) stems from West Indian sound system culture. That's how I see it, but to each their own.

[@FreeformThoughts804]

Yo, when she flows? SHE IS IN HER ZONE! In the past 5 years, I've definitely gravitated to UK artist for hip hop! Hot fiyah!

[@werqeful]

People need to get on that Loyle Carner shit. one of the realest and modt relaxing mcs out of London right now

[@TheLegoBongoDrum]

7 years ago u called it! been on him since 2017 glad to see how far him & simbi have both come

[@SkemeKOS]

[@thenoeseah]

So awesome that she's made it on to hear! spitting on a Ta-ku beat as well, ahhh so dope

[@alinocfa9487]

Who else like her smile like me?

[@WuRealhero]

[@cthompson21]

High hopes for this one. great interview by the way.

[@Ramkaj15]

This is why I love Real Late with Rosenberg. He stays putting me onto dope artists I've never heard of.

[@kemicalyemster]

Dope! And I love rosenberg helping to rep international

[@Dhomer0716]

[@ajwriter5699]

[@jczupzup3552]

[@itsdaizia]

I cry every time she speaks.

[@2nang4dis]

[@FreshyetFilthy]

[@seasky_media]

I think I'm the only one here who listens to Little Simz..

[@ChrisKarell]

That freestyle beat samples daughter, great!

[@kieronjarmyn9333]

great

[@Redsniperxrays]

Rosenberg! Yo you should get gemstones up on there. You may remember him as gemini coming up with lupe fiasco a long time ago. He's been back for 3 years and his newest album has dropped. Everyone show him some love Gemstones - lyrical miracle. One of his songs that spits straight fire. Now rappers like lecrae, and bizzle be getting with him.

[@shinekilla6116]

[@47negus56]

[@rayguantanamo3021]

[@TwoThreadsAhead]

[@juksynice1137]

King Simbi your so beautiful keep going don't stop we love you.

[@Jaz_zo]

Nice Rosenberg cool guest!!

[@hoodjonjon1]

[@ArcaneBeatsUK]

London Stand up!!!

[@Ultralulz305]

Little Simz got bars

[@personrandom8215]

For Americans who don't know Skepta ,Wretch 32, Stormzy, Chip etc Just a few of some other people that slay the UK Scene you should check out

[@ryanmz91]

[@ozzietheassassin]

[@maximyles]

[@YellowSynth]

[@maximyles]

[@RC_35]

Stormzy's very busy

[@TheShay4321]

Rosenberg did interview stormzy though

[@ss-iz9px]

how did she get on hot 97? she's not even popular in the uk

[@imVampy]

+ss140 aka speedy's shiny forehead ikr

[@aldialad]

+ss140 aka speedy's shiny forehead haha def more popular around the world than uk nd that's why I like her

[@demi7913]

+ss140 aka speedy's shiny forehead yes she is

[@ss-iz9px]

***** im happy that she made it tho i thought i'd see stormzy on here before her

[@Theodamo]

+ss140 aka speedy's shiny forehead Stormzy doesn't get involved in the USA as much as little simz it seems. simz be out shooting music videos in LA n that whereas Stormzy keeps it local. no doubt stormzy's more known in the UK than simz, but she's got the backing of a few american heads like kendrick and jay z.

[@joshbiggs677]

All you Americans thinking she's bad, PLEASE, I beg you to listen to her song called 'Deranged' (Basically Earl Sweatshirts - Hive instrumentals/ yano that dark bassline) And come back here, and tell me how good it was. Earls original of Hive can't be beaten, .but her cover, so much vocabulary and just pure strong feel it will make you think. All I can say is please, take a listen, and you will become a fan. :)

[@rcl671]

Danny Seth from the UK too, he needs some love

[@BrotherNero777]
