bruh that flow is better than most popular rappers rn damn
She's dope af live too. Heard her every time she's been in Denmark!
Right???!!
bro you mean than 95% of the rappers out there rn.
there literally a few others that still can flow and not only rely on the beats.
Killer flow fo sho
Still a fan 2019
she conducting an orchestra with those hands
nosequiters called rapper hands
this comment got me dying
Lmao😂😂😂
🤣🤣
Read it in her accent
_"My daddy prolly rather me an athelete"_ is my favorite line. Her accent is the move.
stop stealing bars make up ur own .. lol
Nineskyz ??
Thank you!!! I came to the comments just to see if they lyrics would be here so I could discern that specific line.
Nineskyz she was referring to the line lol
@@NINESKYZ lmao what?
This is not a female rapper. She’s a female rap artist, her metaphors and story telling is incredible 🙌🏾💯👌🏾🎧
She's a rap artist.
@@bea4406 exactly no need for extra labels. Rap artist. Rap genius if u ask me
Minus the female adjective and you’re on
She's said she doesnt like being called *female* rapper actually. We dont talk about guys like "oh he's a great *male* rapper" like.. its weird lol
Perfect
This is deep for two reasons, she's writing a song about being in the backseat in her life and yet realizes this is what she signed up for. So she's getting at how women in the rap game are always in the backseat to men, and also how women in society or subjected to patriarchy. She standing in a contradictory and difficult place where she feels subjugated everywhere she goes yet knows that she signed up for it and makes an amazing song as a testament to her life of freedom yet struggle. At least that's what I got from it.
She didn't ask to be born female, though.
Truth Songs1 ? Are you sure...
word
@@truthsongs1265 that's the name of the channel dipshit
The song is not called colors tho, if you listen to what she saying, you might have a different interpertion of it. She literally says this is what I sign up for, meaning possible being a rapper, and she happens to be female, trying to participate in a dominated male genre. Yeah most of our ancestors came from Africa the motherland, but that was decades ago, and black women didn’t birth all colours cuz that would be weird af, mutation happened, and if mutations happened then that could mean not everyone came from Africa.
I love listening to her rap with her British accent and it flowing so easily. It's so gooooodddd.
Yes indeed Allison!!!!
Yeah I've noticed a lot of British artists not having their accents in their music (la Ella Mai and such). Is it to make it to American streamline music?
Emily Marte honestly, a big part of the reason is that 99% of Hip-Hop that most of us grew up listening to was American rap. So it was only natural for us to imitate rap in a US accent in our younger days. It’s only the past 10 years or so us Brit’s have properly had our own people to support and listen as the talent is just so much stronger in rap, grime, Hip-hop over here than it was years ago.
@@bigzy8183 A lot of people rapped with American accents because they thought it was cooler
Dont agree that this is a British accent lol, is a complete banger though!
i will never forgive myself for just listening to her this year orz
Better late than never
I'm disgusted that I didn't know about this woman sooner. No smoke and lights, no gimmick, just bars.
Its funny cuz to me this is my least favorite track of hers. Thats how good she is lol
@@mikebranch3161 I don't see how her flow is megaclean
STORMZY COLLAB WITH HER ASAP
She is one of the best rappers period in music today. One of the best female MCs ever. Lauryn Hill levels
I honestly love this channel because all the people that you slept on, get revealed.
Briyana Tillman facts
Yeees. Exactly that.
Yes💯💯
Briyana Tillman fr!! ❤️❤️
True

all my life in a backseat...damn...
You too good for me. Hand movements on point

Love u❤🎧🎶
Saw you at Gorillaz's London concert and have been so into your music ever since oh my god
She's got a flow that I've never heard of
Are you from South Africa
I heard VENOM , yesterday & found this today . You can hear and see her growth within those two songs and she’s 24 . Let’s protect this Gem 💎
Definitley, so much potential.
She's gonna be one of the greatest of all time
too late already is
If she sticks wit that style.. going deep on lyrics.. she will be.. live she's dope
Idk about one of the greatest of all time, but she's definitely one of the toughest UK rappers I've ever heard.
i agree with you
Agreed
i love that she looks so... normal. no crazy outfits, no push up. just her talent and her natural beauty
STORMZY COLLAB WITH HER ASAP
all she needs is that raw skill
Uk vibes all day my don
Nowadays she don't tho, some manager must've decided she looked too normal and had to go all out with the get up to really sell. Came back to this song outta nostalgia..
Yea thats the beauty she’s an everyday pedestrian 🚶♀️
Jesus. That flow is so damn hard. Absolute queen.
still listening to this its so timeless
STORMZY COLLAB WITH HER ASAP
Blær Olivia Nelson IMAGINE
@@fionagallagherapologist5968 DREAM ⚡️
It's always fun seeing different artists rap hands.
I wish Jcole would see this and make a song with her!!!
@INVISIBLE PAPER GANG Cole came up off of mix tape after mix tape, he came up off of hard work what you doing bro?
Sign her to Dreamville
Gofaone Motlogelwa little simz and JID would be pure filth
She's leagues better than Cole
Yesss 😭😩
in 2 years went from saying thanks to colors for putting her on in youtube comments, to starring in the new season of Top Boy produced by Drake. big hustle
True,i thought I was the only one who recognized her from the show Top boy
@@leilaanderson8948 I had it the other way round
Back from venom needed this
Daniel Cleveland-Perez oml me too 😂
Lol I'm goin there after this! 😍
This Woman's flow, timing. delivery, bars, concepts - World Class!
Yes zabawaj!!!
Don't get it confused because I'm humble and I'm quiet. Exactly!
That part spoke to me omg 😥
this song still goes hard, absolute bop
STORMZY COLLAB WITH HER ASAP
Back here bc she just dropped NO THANK YOU and it's amazing to witness her growth, she's top 5 for me rn
Simz still ain't getting enough recognition dumb hard one of the UK's finest
Foreal thoo
100%
uk people so much like to hate on thier own they wont give her credit .the best female mc that ever came out from the uk but they wont support her i just dont understand man they do that year in year out just look at the other comments on all uk artist bare hate ..thats why we couldnt compete we the us ...
ade doyin I myself am a hiphop artist from the uk and I wouldn't say that it's a hate, it's just that people still aren't considering the artists from here on the same levels as the artist across the water in the US. and it's also because there hasn't been enough exposure in past times but thanks to social media etc, the time for "us" is coming.
I guess so you're right. uk female artist are way better than the US female artist in my humbled opinion . i think the time is here and now .....All the female artist just have to do more collabo together something like a massive movement ..i see lots of uk get hiphop and grime confused and i wonder why. i never like grime for the life of me except kano and lady lessure pardon my spelling ....
She is talented. Dope music.
agree af
Hands down best female rapper still 3 years later
#FactsOnly !!!!!
She is UNDENIABLY a remarkable, as well as inspirational young woman / musician👏🏾! Her music tells a story and she doesn't try to follow or conform to society's standards💯!! She is a genuine and humble female artist that does not feel the need to show her skin or be eccentric to be noticed... Just her raw talent and Royal Energy🙏🏾.
She flows so well. Massive!
her hands are amazing.
DUGI Potie I could kiss them!
⚘agree

Little Simz dun took off HAM ON THIS RIGHT HERE! a u t h e n t I c v i e w s dun took his career off 2 the next level fr fr no cap
" This is what you signed up for .. did you forget? "
Never get tired of her energy !!
Not only is she insanely talented but she's unbelievably beautiful as well.

Many of the artists on here are underrated, hence why colors berlin is amazing!!
That's so true!!!

Evelin B you damn right !
Evelin B I agree
I've been sleep in this UK artist. Ima visit there now
Exactly lmao I'm saying the same thing!
Little Simz, você não imagina a força com que essa canção arrebata minha alma. Obrigado por me entregar algo tão forte e singelo! Abraços do Brasil.
Breathtaking. Flow, lyrics, content, vibe, cadence...the whole package. And she’s stunning.
I got to listen to her more often.
CHRISTI XX yes you do. Kendrick didn't give her those props years ago for no reason. :) not just great hip hop, great music in general
Nicholas Ward I’m up to date on her now. I’m a big music nerd, and this channel is helpful in discovering more talent.
CHRISTI XX nice profile picture 😉
fauteuillouisxv I love that song.
Was asking myself just the other day when Lil Simz would be on Colors. Best Female Rapper!!!!
Thabang Magoro that's arguable although she's most def up there
Thabang Magoro second to Noname
Thabang Magoro mmm did we forget rapsody??
The best is subjective, but she's high on that list.
oh please stop with this female rapper thing, she is high on the top list of rappers!
This is what you signed up for.
Did you forget?
This is what you get.
This is what you get.
THIS GIRL, i hope she gets the successes she desires. Love it
Best new generation female rapper.
ranks up high for sure...together with rapsody, ill camille, noname..
Staalstraal Agreed
nah one of but not the best
True
she is not new
How come the artists' voices on this show are so perfect and even sound better than in the studio version? Dean, IAMDDB, and Little Simz's performances are just incredibly perfect.
+Aziz Mouaffak Saaaammmmeee I've been screaming that since I discovered this channel
Post editing bruv. Colors has some tough engineers in their corner
maybe the equipment
Im from Paris, Ive lived in London Brixton during 2 years, and now this type of hip hop is part of my identity… much love 🙏❤️
I keep coming back to this performance!! She commands the entire performance; you can’t help but focus on every single second
yo this is HEAT
Carlukio mdr comme miami
No its fire
By Brockhampton?
Carlukio Agreed Fam
Carlukio truuuu
Let's just be honest she's way better than the top 5 female Rappers right now.
Yes!
True that
😅
Sad truth
Facts
I get freaking goosebumps of how good and deep her music is
Her flow better than my grades...
Little Simz UK's finest. Crazy flow. Would be a dream to work with her.
man... here in holland rap has been destroyed with non sense.. happy that the uk still has people with true skills..
aaand this isnt my account. whoops.
Her flow is straight 🔥🔥
this girl is pure talent
I always receive the right music and words when I need them the most. I'm just so thankful.
she got skills for sure
Damn, this is dope af. Usually the UK accent turns me off of rap, but this had me hooked from the vocals at the start
I like the accent, it's different from the rap you usually hear.
Same
LonelyWhale LOL did you just imply that US Hip Hop is mumble rap? The UK has a lot of their own mumble rappers.
CHRISTI XX nnaaaaahhhhh fam
Jag Takhar Yes.
I love this. Her flow her voice 🤍🤍
Her flow is in a much higher level, bloody brilliant!!
Finally! Flow so smooth
She's honestly one of my favorite female hip hop artists, she has gotten me through some tough times 💙
Discovering her was one of the best things that ever happened to me. What an artist
she absolutely mesmerized me.
In all aspects this is beautiful and so is she.
Pure 10/10 track honestly
So glad that I found "COLORS" best thing that has ever happened to me 🙏🏾
Same :D
5 years later still a mf slap. My favorite Femcee 💪🏽😤
I actually love her so much she’s so unique and talented 😮
There's something very humble about this artist, so talented and pleasant to the ears
She makes it seem so easy. It is a different kind of swag for sure. Get it gurl! Always a fan!
still gives me chills no doubt
This songs hit me in my soul every time I hear it....lord I want to cry half the time listening to it. Thank you for this.
She's the true epitome of what it means to be a free-thinking creative artist. I'm new to "colors" and found this song about a week ago and have listened to it everyday since!!! I'm in love with all of her music and interviews that I've looked up over the past week and at this junction in my life I know it was divine intervention that lead me to her for inspiration/motivation. Love from Detroit, MI 🙌😘🎶💨👑🌟
Same here. Discovered her a week ago and now I can't get enough 🤩😍 and her other songs are soooo deep👀
Got so much respect for this lady.
listening to this and Venom every day :p, can't get enough of this lady's talent
unbelievable the magic of this sound
Thank you Colors for putting me on. She's a true creative
Sidenote I really like her hair. Like her short hair suits her so well
The way she keep droping dont stop but never failed the times. Perfect, powerfull woman.
I love her voice and rap!! Wow..... She is sooooo amazing!!
I adore her poetry.
Le feu, elle rap tellement bien, ca kick sec, comme j'aime !
Just seen this, being from a more 'old school' hip hop heritage. I must say that was absolutely brilliant. Really, really looking forward to seeing you at all points east in the summer.
I keep coming back to this. She something special fr
She dope af
Opening act of the Gorillaz show yesterday, best track of her set, straight fire!
Koko Loko Felt it too. The mood went straight up!
Absolutely phenomenal . I am so blown away and touched by every atom. THIS IS IT
Forever a bop!
BRING NAO TO THIS, SHE DESERVES ITTTTTTT!
I would love to hear a Little Simz feat Goldlink song :3 I think they have some common in style. Boii this song is SOOO LIT! :D
Raiden 49 That would be LIT 😭🔥
Yooooo that would be sick
Bro you mixing up something mighty fine
I just had the thought about their similar styles and your upgraded version with a collab is so much better!
Do you know what, Goldlink came to London and Simz openned his performance for him and the energy on stage was electric, Andre 3000 came to watch Goldlink and left when Simz finished shutting shit down but if you guys like Simz then you should listen to the rest of the 'Space Age' (her group) members; Josh Arce, Chuckz 20 and Tilla Arce
her flow and her lyrcs... im speechless, she is fcking amazing
I was this old when i discovered this and got hooked
dude I'm in love
her pronounciation is so clear,FINALLY!
I’m so glad I got to know her with this video 4 years ago. And now seeing her releasing an album like SIMBI is just awesome. GOAT
love her and her flow so much
Her rapping attitude reminds me Goldlink
Roux Quier her cadences kinda does remind me of Goldlink a bit. Weird how I now hear it after I read this comment lol
by farting
This is the next Colors show that'll hit a MIL
Anyangatia Ndobegang bro you were damn right
duhh nigga
You were right!
Are you a wizard
@ 2m lmao.
Elle est tellement simple, et ça fait carrément le taf, ce son est dans ma playlist. Ta tout défoncer meuf ❤️❤️❤️
You're like one of the best out here, in this era of pop. you're so good, i freaking love you !!!!
