E.D.G.E

Little Simz

A murky, introspective blueprint of UK hip-hop. Skittering beats and dusty Rhodes chords frame a young artist's relentless, double-time self-examination.

Find on Amazon

It's the raw, late-night London rap record she made before she became a superstar.

A restless, late-night introspection driven by quiet ambition and raw lyrical hunger.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden shift in energy on E.D.G.E / Age 101 where the beat strips back to a skeletal pulse, allowing her rapid-fire delivery to take center stage.
The melancholic, pitch-shifted vocal sample floating over the dusty drum loop on Mandarin Oranges, Part 2.
The aggressive, double-time lyrical onslaught on Bars Simzson that cuts through the hazy, atmospheric production of the rest of the EP.
