little simz no thank you 2xlp, color vinyl

gospel rap, raw emotions and an unusual envelope.

if "sometimes i might be introvert" was orchestral grandeur, "no thank you" is an intimate confession. little simz dropped this album as a surprise, without a massive campaign, and hit the bullseye. this is music rooted in gospel, soul, and raw beats, once again produced by the reliable inflo (the mastermind behind sault). simbi raps here with an ease and confidence that places her at the absolute forefront of contemporary hip-hop.

here we have the limited indie exclusive edition. the two vinyl records are pressed in a striking red / yellow split variant. the pressing quality is handled by the german plant optimal media (look for "bn" markings in the runout), guaranteeing solid, european sound.

fun fact: the sleeve isn't a standard gatefold, but unique packaging with an envelope-like opening. sound (mix and mastering) was handled by ben baptie.
