Actually the rap/hiphop scene in England has been the best on earth for at least the past 10-20 years, MF Doom anyone?? unfortunately Americans weren’t exposed to much more than that until quite recently. The countless, painfully mediocre artists who get famous in the US/Canada base everything down to their literal rapping style on British artists & rarely ever mention those particular influences much less give them any credit. For a great example, please look up/listen to Lady Leshurr, the mostly unknown young woman whose style Cardi B shamelessly ripped off, and you will understand how bad it is.

There is so much more than meets the eye with this performance. It manages to look so chill and inviting, like everyone is just relaxing. But in reality it is meticulously coordinated. I also found myself tearing up. Not only did it sound beautiful, but everything about this performance and the way it was captured are perfect. It's a diamond. The whole time I was watching, I felt like I had this impossible gift.

Old Scottish non-melaninated dude here. Caught bits of Liitle Simz in the past and liked what I heard but this is next-level. As other people have mentioned, she is a real, true artist and deserves to take over the world. Shout-out to the band too and especially to the ladies on BVs, what a great sound they all make together. Would give any number of limbs to have sat in with this band for an afternoon. Would need to have got a LOT better on my old drum kit before that though. Two CDs will def be purchased on Friday: one for me and one for my daughter.

I am late to this, but Lil Simz got an instant fan, just like that. She is incredible y'all. Her sounds is nostalgic, a fine blend of Lauryn Hill & Missy.
