Performance: Little Simz - Backseat
Take a ride in the backseat with Little Simz.
The UK rapper hailing from North London is surely being slept on by the masses.
In a recent performance of her current single, "Backseat," with Berlin's COLORS, the femcee takes us on a journey inside of her head. As much as she is a dope lyricist, she's an even better storyteller, and if you close your eyes while she's rapping you can envision every word she's said.
"All my life been a black sheep/ All my life been the black keys
True I never really was a bad breed/ Daddy probably rather me an athlete
Man that nigga move like a taxi/ All my life in the backseat
You talk about life is it that sweet?/ All these eyes staring at me..."
Without too many theatrics, Little Simz relies on the feeling of her words and her music to convey the exact emotion of how it feels to go from nothing to something without getting the proper chance to process it all. Though we may not all relate to exact experience, you CAN relate to that feeling. That emotion. And that vulnerability.
Can ya'll wake up now, and notice how great this rising star is? You can thank me later.
Watch her dope performance below.
