Drop 7

About

Historically, the Drops series of EPs has served as a platform for Little Simz to express her more immediate creative thoughts and inner feeling, parallel to—and sometimes in concert with—her fully realized, full-length project. <i>Drop 7</i> presents a curious window into the rapper’s current moment in time, spread across seven snapshots seemingly snatched in the well-timed flash of strobe light. When she last checked in on a Drops release (battling through lockdown isolation and a bout of self-doubt to create <i>Drop 6</i> in 2020) Simz was still a year away from <i>Sometimes I Might Be Introvert</i>, the game-changing album that garnered the long-overdue recognition meritorious of such a singular talent. Undeniably at the top of her game right now, Simz channels that potent self-confidence through the fervent, primal Jakwob production—the powerfully still eye in a storm of commanding drums and reverberating echoe. .
