Little Simz

New Single: Rollin' Stone
 Energetic   Fierce   Focus   Work Out 

Brand new track 'Rollin' Stone' lifted from Little Simz' upcoming album 'Sometimes I Might Be Introvert', due September 3rd. While 'GREY Area' established Little Simz as one of the most important voices in hip hop coming out of the UK, 'Sometimes I Might Be Introvert' cements her as a global force. The record finds Simz delivering the most striking bars of her career over cinematic production, with a collection songs that are diverse in their range but still cohesive as a body of work.
