Genuinely an instant classic as soon as I heard the transition from introvert to woman I knew this was pure gold

[@sam-cf6ij]

Every time I hear this album in full I think that like the way point and kill goes into fear no man too, this woman is a genius

[@kat19805]

If you haven’t heard her earlier albums - fix that too. Grey Area is a modern classic (my favourite of hers so far) and her two earlier albums are also gems. This woman cannot make a bad track, for real 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@hjkkghjk6988]

Shout out to the producer, INFLO, he’s a multi instrumentalist, a genius who also produced for Michael Kiwanuka and Cleo Sol mainly

[@HalWinstonFletcher]

And SAULT’s stuff we can’t forget!

[@barry4649]

I think it’s nuts the likes of Dave and Stormzy haven’t hit him up yet. The best UK producer easily rn

[@jeffhernandezherrera7972]

And his main project SAULT

[@julianveich5091]

And even worked with Adele on her last album. INFLO deserves those flowers.

[@mpamfi]

Stormzy said multiple times he appreciated SAULT & Cleo Sol' music and he had Lil Simz in one his music videos@@barry4649

[@rizron95]

One of the rare occasions where the interludes truly work and give so much to an album.

[@denzhil9099]

ikr, i even made a playlist with just interludes, it's that incredible

[@barry4649]

Fr it makes the album sound like a Disney movie. By the way her and Inflo should get the chance to make a Disney soundtrack

[@FoamBananaz]

I think I remember Simz saying in an interview with fantano that she put Miss Understood at the end because she had more to say, and she knew she'd regret it if she didn't say what she needed to. I agree that 'How Did You Get Here' would have made an incredible closer, but with how breathtaking this album is from start to finish - for me, ending on the softer more personal moment of Miss Understood grounds the entire project. It brings the whole thing back down to earth in the most beautiful way

[@barry4649]

I love albums that do that at the end. Even My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and To Pimp a Butterfly end in that sort of way with the scattered clap at the end of Dark Fantasy and Kendrick calling out for Tupac instead of ending triumphantly made for better endings imo

[@barry4649]

By the way, seeing her live is more significant than you think because she’s actually had to cancel US and Canadian tours before due to lack of interest which really shows how criminally bad she’s been marketed by her label. Support Little Simz

[@HippytotheHopamus]

US rap Twitter has just discovered her in last two months or so

[@htrtps7375]

She is not signed to any label. Which makes touring even harder for her. Her live shows are fuckin amazing. If anyone ever gets a chance to go, they should.

[@Unholygamewinner]

She’s just sold out Alexander palace two nights in a row in London which is around 10,000 people so I’m really glad her home gives her love. She has a really thick London accent rapping style I can see why it might be a bit harder for her to break. Hopefully they catch on but if not, don’t care. They haven’t got so much great shit. Stone Roses, The Jam etc

[@Maya-iu8ki]

yes! i got tickets for Canada and then it was cancelled, but coming back strongly this year (im seeing her in october!! so excited :))

[@Cixon14]

She was in Australia a month ago. She is amazing live and she worked that crowed like crazy! Hope she comes back again soon

[@will.amartinnn]

you’ve gotta listen to NO THANK YOU next, it’s a completely different vibe but still showcases how amazing she is as an artist, along with more Inflo beats

[@will.amartinnn]

also, Inflo produced every single song on this album. the vinyl gives info on the people in the orchestra, but everything was sampled, mixed, and mastered by one man. absolutely insane !!!

[@joshuawashington758]

This album currently stands as my album of the decade. Instant classic in every single way.

It's equal with Ants From Up There and Hellfire imo. All 3 of those are interchangeable as the best album of the decade

She is something truly remarkable and I have not seen someone write her lyrics the way she does. Truly one the best

100% but she won’t become the best in the way you mean without getting a label push because Americans in particular are very ignorant to UK artists and a lot of men in general won’t listen to a hard female rapper. Anyway I think she’s already the best artist in the rap game based off the last 5 years

[@sabita9406]

I deeply agree.

[@VILLAINPANTHERA]

Cleo Sol… Little Simz is fucking incredible and INFLO production is amazing, but Cleo Sol works so perfectly with Simz, her voice just does something to me, it’s so beautiful and angelic and floaty and… yeah it needs to be talked about more

[@charlesgreen7221]

Inflo produced this whole album and is incredible. Please check out Sault as group created by Inflo and has unbelievable albums. Untitled (Black is) is great. Cleo sol feature heavily in a lot of the songs on all the albums and Simz is in a few too.

Maybe it's just me, but this album and Big KRIT's 4eva is a Mighty Long Time both just hold a special place with me. Both fairly long albums--KRIT's in particular--with no misses, and song after song that seems perfect to me. I know exactly where I was when I listened to both albums for the first time. To talk about Simz, her catalogue hasn't missed, and her writing is just excellent.

[@m_ruddi1277]

This has become my favourite album of all time. The thought that an album could beat GKMC for me, had seemed impossible. But this has genuinely become better on each listen, and it was without a doubt the best first album expirence I have ever had. My friend and I went in blind and we were both stunned. The production and orchestration is flawless. The sequencing is unlike any album I've heard, with the use of interludes that genuinely sound amazing and add so much to the experience. And the writing is just... Every line hits hard and is so inticing. Truly a masterpiece and it hurts that it is so underrated. LITTLE SIMZ FOREVER

[@seven0seven0]

little simz is a phenomenal artist, carving her own path as one of this gens best. so keen for the no thank u reaction !

[@SoulSearcherr]

I genuinely think Little Simz is the greatest female rapper of all time, yes above Lauren Hill.

[@calebhatcher5789]

I mean she just has such a quality consistent yet versatile catalog of 3 or more great albums. And even set apart of just female, she is one of the best of this generation.

[@drymdryn]

i adore lauren but i'm no longer shy to have this take, simbi is one of the best in the game currently gender aside

[@lovegalore8101]

I think Lauren Hill and Little Simz are equally the best of all time

[@AngelRivera-de1lq]

I disagree but respect ur take as it's very valid

[@sarthakjain1824]

Agree 100%

[@barry4649]

You guys need to do more UK reactions. The best ones to start with are Simz, Dave, Kano, and Ghetts and I’d say all are world class rappers lyrically with Simz possibly being the best around right now imo. Her last 3 albums are all 10s to me and she’s the best female rapper ever and it isn’t close

[@jamiebsn5589]

For me, the reason the last two tracks are in the order that they are because Simz is letting her sister take priority over her because that's what introverts do. She would rather end the album talking about her sister instead of herself. Idk if I'm reading far too much into it or it was just a sub-conscious thing for her, but that's what I like to think in terms of the ordering, love the reaction 🫶

[@mayaleonavicius893]

I think she ended on miss understood because throughout the album you learn to understand her and how she works and what’s she’s been through. So the audience and her have this relationship of no longer miss understanding each other as she is now miss. Understood. Yet, even after you say your peace, you can still be missunderstood. Which is where she brings in her family and how even the closest people can misunderstand her intentions. Which leads on to another feeling to explore in a later album but also life

[@JordanWilhelmi]

Cinematic is the word you're looking for. This album is a movie in audio form

Another good review. You guys should do 1999 by Joey Badass next. It's a classic, and the sound of the album travels to the older type of music with great lyrics
