[@donnalawson6236]

I don’t get why the women get shunted into another grouping. For me she’s the best & gender does not come into it, other than she don’t do the hyper sexualised look that so many of the American hip hop and women rappers seem to. A shout out to Noname here, she is great, though of course being independent, gets far less attention than she ought! Little Simz is in no way an emerging artist, she’s been rapping since the age of 11, the 1st clip of her is from a radio 5(BBC) thing,at that tender age! Her acting skills are top tier too. Top Boy is on Netflix, 2 series, didn’t look like it was going to get funded for a 3rd season, & then of all people, Drake funded it!! I think she is incredible!
