Fresh off a standout series of shows at this year's SXSW festival, which saw her take to the stage for the likes of Soundcloud, Complex, Okayplayer and more, with Sango, Waldo and the Soulection and AGO family, Little Simz hits the ground running and blesses us with some freshness to share with you guys.

The 20 year old North London hailing rapper and musician, who has been thrust into the spotlight following the release of her 4th mixtape Blank Canvas (which was premiered on Jay Z's Life+Times in September 2013, earning her global accolade and tipped to watch by the likes of Noisey, The Independent and many more) today brings us her thought provoking take on Da-P's "The Hamptons", which was originally released in its instrumental form a few months ago as part of a white label release from Soulection.

Press play on this piece of  audio goodness brought to you by Soulection and SoulCulture and stay locked for news on Little Simz debut EP which is set to be released this spring.

Be For:

There are two definitions to this EP, the first being literally being “for our time”. In the current era of musicians, like myself from London, people tend crave and look to the states for answers and are quick to criticise the music from our own home. Some may disagree – but I speak from experience. This EP is the project that demonstrates there is hope where we’re from and where I’ve come from and we should unite in that. We all have a story to tell. This project is about Truth, Love and Passion.

Before:

The second meaning of this project is its nostalgic presence. This being a story telling project, it is filled with reflecting on situations and life experiences. The whole theme sonically is driven by reminiscence; I wanted to bring the same feeling or something close to the feeling, you felt when Hip Hop was at its peak of greatness and what is said actually meant something. I was born in 1993, and with this project I wanted to give people that same feeling of when music and Hip Hop was appreciated and respected by the masses in the 90's, and bring that feeling back to my home city and the world.

BeFor Our Time, For The People.

Our recent excursion to Russia - as part of the Stay True series with Ballantine’s Scotch Whiskey - proved bountiful for a number of reasons. Not only because it jammed some of the nation's finest boom bap reps together with a hand-picked selection of America's similarly-inclined elite. But also because it was a tour engulfed in genuine, raucous energy. Relationships were formed and a genuine companionship emerged between the heads involved.
 
 So the story goes that DJ Premier spent a few days in the studio alongside St. Petersburg's BMB Spacekid and one half of LA-based funksters NxWorries, Anderson .Paak. The result of their combined wizardry is "Til It's Done" - a headnodding joyride through electro-funk characterised by a hip-hop drum kit underbelly and topped by Anderson's ever-capable vocal acrobatics.

Lyrics
[Chorus]
How come I can't do what fuck I want do
How come, how come
Tryna get this skraight no damn hot comb through
How come, how come
Weavin' through the naps, dreams been on hold
since my cradle hit the flo
tender head, my denim skrong
Yea, yea, yea, yeaaaaaah

[Verse 1: Cam O'bi]
Remember when I was a kiddo
growin' up in the middle
windows lining my smile, silver teeth underneath my pillow
a nigga had a nappy head like a Brillo pad
sister said I need to do somethin' about them beedy-beed naps
snackin' on Andy Capp's with a pickle and a quarter water
walked in the barbershop asked me what I wanted 
I told that man I wanted to look like Superman,
but when he had the long hair
you know, kinda like Michael Jackson?
The damn barber just started laughin'.
I cried as he gave me that bald fade.
Afro puffs hit the flo', symbolic of shedding my innocense
I guess I thought they were magicians or alchemists
or mathematicians 
with algebraic calculus algorithms designed to cure me of my nappiness
like a perm burned off my happiness
I sat silently acquiescent
pitfalls of adolescence 
spitballs and scrabble sessions and tattle-tales
playing around in the hallway like one of Santa's elves
"You wanna goto jail?" 
"Hell naw, mister security!", got sent to the principal for my potty mouth 
talkin' bout some "give me your number so we can call the house" 
but gimme got shot, so the ink staining my record now
you pull a comb thru my afro that shit'll crackle like a bowl full of Rice Krispies
rollin' my innocence in a cigarillo like

[Chorus]
How come I can't do what fuck I want do
How come, how come
Tryna get this skraight no damn hot comb through
How come, how come
Weavin' through the naps, dreams been on hold
since my cradle hit the flo
tender head, my denim skrong
How come, how come
How come I can't say what fuck I want say
How come, how come
Tender braids, but I can't make my eyes rain
How come, how come
Yanked straight from my naps, dead on my comb
When my cradle hit the flo' 
Tender head, my genes on swole
Yea, yea, yea, yeaaaaaaah

[Verse 2: Smino]
I don't wanna sing the
Star-spangled banner, 'less it's produced by David Banner
elbows on the lunch table, eatin on a gravy sammich 
lil' nigga no table manna's
crazy it attracted shawty's 
on the back of the bus gettin' neck had a knack fuh noggin'
lil' nick at nighttime
googlin' booty, beauty illusions polluted and deep-rooted in my mind
my block was a rubix
anywhere you turned, the shit was hot around the clock 
and they could not ice cube it
damn
mama I don't like this school shit, 
fuck a logarithm, I'll log into the music
damn
daddy I don't like this school shit
I beat the desk until my knuckles bleed
all my teachers think I'm challenged mentally
but my mental skrong, know who I wanna be,
instantly began a surgery
bada-bing, voila!, made wings wit the words Hallelujah, yah bitch, yah!
all my blessings came when I accepted I'm not y'all
I been put it down the line like laundry
they told find something more concrete
now a lil' nigga breakin' concrete
praises to God I ain't no convict
they'll never take away my confidence

[Chorus]
How come I can't do what fuck I want do
How come, how come
Tryna get this skraight no damn hot comb through
How come, how come
Weavin' through the naps, dreams been on hold
since my cradle hit the flo
tender head, my denim skrong
How come, how come
How come I can't say what fuck I want say
How come, how come
Tender braids, but I can't make my eyes rain
How come, how come
Yanked straight from my naps, dead on my comb
When my cradle hit the flo' 
Tender head, my genes on swole
Yea, yea, yea, yeaaaaaaah

[CHORUS]
Everyone I don’t want keeps callin me
But I ain’t out here trusting these bodies  
If it ain’t my baby that’s callin me
Then I ain’t got no time for nobody
But they keep callin me

BRIDGE
(Life’s a whore, and it could suck a pumpkin threw a straw)
(Face come off, we bouta see how vulnerable you are) 
(When it’s hard, you be Checkin on yah phone like..., scroll scroll scroll)

[Verse 1]
Feeling amazing, somewhat impatient, gotta get paid 
I flip thru pages, Time isnt waiting and I’m only aging, edge of the cliff, I’m edumacated, only attempt to be mentioned with greatness, tempted by birds who escaped from their cages, only see me at the rarest occasion, if it ain’t for the bread or the fam I can’t make it
My girl with a king she courageous 
Like coretta 
From the ghetto 
She got that Heart from the heavens
But She Got that look from the devil
Dripping with fantasy 
Slip thru the melody
Melanin showed me true colors 
I say she Bad to the bone 
She want the dog ima let her 
Pet it, then drop like confetti 
 The levy is broke
And I drown in her ocean 
She went to mix the elixir 
I took a sip of The potion 
I lost control of the wheel 
But it’s driving itself like the model 3 Tesla 
Say what you want like Alexa 
She want a ride like the metra
I start applying the pressure because
I was told that is how you find gold, or a diamond if that’s any better 
You bound to find something, you digging a hole 
(You got me driving till my tank on e, you drive me crazy.
I'm on Zero zero zero zero)

CHORUS

[VERSE 2]

Inter the course 
Not a obstacle 
Aint too hard for me to tell you why I  love you 
You asked me you tried to test me 
You think you one step right in front of me 
Cause I got 2 left feet 
So I just trip over myself 
And upon my defeat
You just catch me then u bring right back to where I’m supposed to be 
And I love you for that 
Cause you love me for me 
And it ain’t all about that cutty (Cudi)
But the cutty is great 
Ain’t talkin Scott if you late 
Cause I’m up up and away 
And I Wanna rum pum pum on yo 
Bum bum 
Then rest my head on yah bosom 
Wanna get a whiff of your wisdom 
Wanna Rap to your heartbeat rhythm
Then wrap you up in licorice 
And count how many licks I get til I get to the center
You know my every incentive 
Enter the course of your mind 
Recalibrate then realign 
I double down in half the time 
I swear I never felt this alive 
But a little part of me dies when I look and it aint you on my line

[BRIDGE]
(Life’s a whore, and it could suck a pumpkin threw a straw)
(Face come off, we bouta see how vulnerable you are) 
(When it’s hard, you be checkin on the phone like..., scroll scroll scroll)
