Track of the Week: ‘Gorilla’ by Little Simz

Little Simz recently released a brand new album called NO THANK YOU. It is the follow up to her award-winning record Sometimes I Might Be Introvert.

The North London-based rapper knows her worth. She may be an introvert, but she isn’t faint-hearted, and on LP standout ‘Gorilla’ she’s keeping score: “Name one time where I didn’t deliver,” she assuredly raps on over a laid-back, plucking bassline.

Over producer Inflo’s steady break beat and surging streaks, she displays command of her punchy rhymes with a cadence so casual it feels as if she could deliver them in her sleep. The track closes the same way it starts: with the pomp and circumstance of booming brass notes. It’s a declaration — Little Simz is here and she wants you to feel it. [via NPR]
