Little Simz is a talented rap artist from London. J. Cole, A$AP Rocky and Kendrick Lamar respect her. Kendrick generally says that she is one of the best rap singers in north London. Sims says the following about himself:
“Even the fact that I say that I am not a “female rapper” is already perceived as something caustic in our society. But, this is a completely logical thing: yes, I'm a girl, yes, I'm a rapper. But above all, I am a musician…”.
Childhood and adolescence Little Simz
The artist's date of birth is February 23, 1994. Simbyatu Abisola Abiola Ajikawo (real name of the rapper) was born in London. She has the most pleasant memories of her childhood. Perhaps the whole reason lies in the fact that she devoted most of her free time to music.
In adolescence, the girl was already a professional and began to do what she loved. At the same time, Adjikavo "put together" the first musical group, with which she began performing on the school stage.
The girl developed a trusting relationship with her parents. Her mother believed in her very much, who did not get tired of repeating that her daughter would have great success.
“She always told me to do something without a shadow of regret. She inspired me to be bright, to be who I am. I always felt that my family was there, they laid this foundation of support in childhood, ”the rap artist says about her family and mother.
The girl studied at Highbury Fields School. In addition, she attended the St. Mary's Club on Upper Street. Adjikawo later studied at Westminster's Kingsway College. In the last educational institution, she managed to "deploy" her musical career. Growing up in north London reflects Adjikawo's work and outlook on music.
The creative path of Little Simz
The first tangible success came to the rap artist after the presentation of her debut LP A Curious Tale of Trials + Persons. The collection was released on the independent label of the singer. Until the release of the record, Adjikavo managed to please the fans of her work with the release of four mixtapes and five EPs. The debut album entered the UK R&B Albums Chart at number 20 and the UK Independent Albums Chart at number 43.
On the wave of popularity, she releases her second studio album. The collection was titled Stillness in Wonderland. The record was inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and supported by a comic book, fest and art exhibition. A year later, the rap artist performed on the heating at Gorillaz.
In early March 2019, the rapper released her third studio album. The record of the London artist turned out to be incredibly powerful and hit. Longplay Gray Area was highly appreciated not only by fans, but also by music critics.
The name, according to the rap artist, refers to the depression she experienced a couple of years ago. “It was all gray all around,” Little Simz said of that time in an interview on BBC Radio 1.
Some time later, Little Simz read the Venom piece of music on the A Colors Show. By the way, Gray Area was nominated for the European Independent Album of the Year IMPALA award.
