ʻO Little Simz kahi mea hana rap akamai mai Lākana. Ua mahalo ʻo J. Cole, A$AP Rocky a me Kendrick Lamar iā ia. ʻŌlelo maʻamau ʻo Kendrick ʻo ia kekahi o nā mele rap maikaʻi loa ma ka ʻākau o Ladana. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Sims e pili ana iā ia iho:
"ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo aʻu e ʻōlelo nei ʻaʻole wau he" wahine rapper "ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia he mea ʻino i ko mākou kaiāulu. Akā, he mea kūpono loa kēia: ʻae, he kaikamahine wau, ʻae, he rapper wau. Akā ma luna o nā mea a pau, he mea hoʻokani pila wau…”.
ʻO ka kamaliʻi a me ka ʻōpio ʻo Little Simz
ʻO ka lā hānau o ka mea pena kiʻi ʻo Pepeluali 23, 1994. Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Simbyatu Abisola Abiola Ajikawo (inoa maoli o ka rapper) ma Lākana. Loaʻa iā ia nā hoʻomanaʻo maikaʻi loa o kona wā kamaliʻi. Aia paha ke kumu holoʻokoʻa i ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka hapa nui o kona manawa kaʻawale i ke mele.
I ka wā ʻōpio, ua lilo ke kaikamahine i ʻoihana a hoʻomaka e hana i kāna mea i aloha ai. I ka manawa like, ua "hoʻohui" ʻo Adjikavo i ka hui mele mua, kahi āna i hoʻomaka ai e hana ma ke kahua kula.
Ua hoʻokumu ke kaikamahine i kahi pilina hilinaʻi me kona mau mākua. Ua hilinaʻi nui kona makuahine iā ia, ʻaʻole ia i luhi i ka haʻi hou ʻana e loaʻa i kāna kaikamahine ka lanakila nui.
“Ua ʻōlelo mau ʻo ia iaʻu e hana i kekahi mea me ka ʻole o ka mihi. Ua hoʻoikaika ʻo ia iaʻu e lilo i mālamalama, e lilo wau ʻo wai wau. Manaʻo mau wau aia koʻu ʻohana, ua kau lākou i kēia kumu o ke kākoʻo i ka wā kamaliʻi, "wahi a ka mea pena rap e pili ana i kona ʻohana a me kona makuahine.
Ua aʻo ke kaikamahine ma ke kula ʻo Highbury Fields. Eia hou, ua hele ʻo ia i ka St. Mary's Club ma ke alanui Upper. Ua aʻo ʻia ʻo Adjikawo ma Westminster's Kingsway College. Ma ke kula hoʻonaʻauao hope loa, ua hoʻokō ʻo ia e "hoʻonohonoho" i kāna ʻoihana mele. ʻO ka ulu ʻana ma ka ʻākau ʻo Lākana e hōʻike ana i ka hana a Adjikawo a me ka nānā ʻana i ke mele.
ʻO ke ala hana o Little Simz
ʻO ka lanakila mua loa i hiki mai i ka mea pena rap ma hope o ka hōʻike ʻana i kāna LP mua ʻo A Curious Tale of Trials + Persons. Ua hoʻokuʻuʻia ka hōʻiliʻili ma ka lepili kūʻokoʻa o ka mea mele. A hiki i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ka moʻolelo, ua hoʻokō ʻo Adjikavo e ʻoluʻolu i ka poʻe pā o kāna hana me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ʻehā mixtapes a me ʻelima EP. Ua komo ka album mua i ka UK R&B Albums Chart ma ka helu 20 a me ka UK Independent Albums Chart ma ka helu 43.
Ma ka nalu o ka kaulana, hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i kāna album studio lua. Ua kapa ʻia ka ʻohi ʻana ʻo Stillness in Wonderland. Ua hoʻoulu ʻia ka moʻolelo e Alice's Adventures in Wonderland a kākoʻo ʻia e kahi puke mele, ʻahaʻaina a me ka hōʻikeʻike kiʻi. I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, hoʻokani ka mea pena rap i ka hoʻomehana ma Gorillaz.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o Malaki 2019, ua hoʻokuʻu ka rapper i kāna album studio ʻekolu. ʻO ka moʻolelo o ka mea pena kiʻi London i lilo i mea ikaika loa a paʻi. Ua mahalo nui ʻia ʻo Longplay Grey Area ʻaʻole wale e ka poʻe pā, akā e nā mea hoʻokani mele pū kekahi.
ʻO ka inoa, e like me ka mea rap artist, pili i ke kaumaha i loaʻa iā ia i kekahi mau makahiki i hala. "He hina a puni," wahi a Little Simz no ia manawa ma kahi ninaninau ma BBC Radio 1.
Ma hope o kekahi manawa, heluhelu ʻo Little Simz i ka ʻāpana mele Venom ma ka A Colors Show. Ma ke ala, ua koho ʻia ʻo Gray Area no ka European Independent Album of the Year IMPALA award.
ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he mele wale nō, akā ma ke ʻano he mea hana keaka. I Kepakemapa, ma hope o ka hoʻomaha ʻana i ʻeono makahiki, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Netflix i kahi hopena o "Top Boy" e pili ana i ke ola o nā poʻe ʻino mai Lākana. Ua loaʻa iā Little Simz ke kuleana o ka makuahine hoʻokahi ʻo Shelly.
Nā kikoʻī o ke ola pilikino o kahi mea pena rap
I kēia manawa, ʻaʻole mākaukau ʻo ia e kūkākūkā i kona ola pilikino. I kēia lā, ua manaʻo ʻia kona manawa e kūkulu i kahi ʻoihana hana. Hāʻawi ʻo ia iā ia iho i ke mele.
Little Simz: I kēia lā
I 2020, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i kahi EP, Drop 6. Ua kākau ʻo ia i ka hōʻuluʻulu ʻana i ka wā kaʻawale. Ua ʻae ka mea pena he mea paʻakikī loa nā kaohi iā ia. "He ʻokoʻa nui ma waena o kāu hoʻoholo e noho hoʻokahi a i ka wā e koi ʻia ai ʻoe e noho hoʻokahi. ʻO kēia kahi e hoʻomaka ai nā pilikia. " E hoʻomanaʻo, ua alakaʻi ʻia ka disc e 5 mau ala ʻoluʻolu.
Ma Sepatemaba 3, 2021, ua mālama ʻia ka mua o ka album studio ʻehā o ka mea pena rap. Ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ʻo Some I Might Be Introvert. ʻO nā mele a pau ma ka diski na ka mea hoʻopuka Pelekane ʻo Inflo.
