In a black tracksuit and retro shades, her dreadlocks swept back in a white bandana, rapper\u00a0Little Simz<\/a>\u00a0looks every inch the classic\u00a0north London bar-spitter<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 the sort of MC whose skills were honed in youthful battles, but who, at 27, knows that her true opposition is not some MC in the next postcode. Simz\u2019s opening salvo tonight,\u00a0Introvert<\/a>, takes laser-guided aim against endemic inequality and stacked odds, at mothers endlessly burying sons. Powerful and revelatory, it\u2019s work on a par with that of east London\u2019s\u00a0Kano<\/a>. An entire career could go by in this righteous vein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But over the course of the next hour and three-quarters, Simz\u2019s compact MC persona unfolds like a concertina, blown open by the epic sweep of strings and the earthy funk of bass. Halfway through her generous, versatile set, the performer born Simbiatu Ajikawo changes into roomier attire, arranging her hair into architectural forms not entirely unlike the cover of her most recent album, the groundbreaking\u00a0Sometimes I Might Be Introvert<\/a><\/em>\u00a0\u2013 easily one of the best albums of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
