Little Simz

Overview

How do you know you're a hip hop prodigy? Well, Jay-Z might feature your music on his Life+Times blog, Dizzee Rascal might ask you to lay down some tracks, or Kendrick may say you're "the illest". Or, if you're UK artist Little Simz, all of these things happen before you've even released your debut album. (And yes, Kendrick did say that.)

Now with her first full-length album A Curious Tale of Trials + Persons having been released last September, the rapper and musician is travelling to Australia to perform from it in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. She'll be gracing the stage at Brunswick's Howler on Wednesday, February 24. It may be a school night, but this is one gig worth losing some winks over.
