Little Simz’ new album came out today and while I’m not sure it quite hits the heights of last year’s masterpiece, it’s still a great album and she’s proven that she can deliver real quality with a relatively short turnaround. She’s definitely one of the few shining lights to come out of the UK music scene in recent years and feels like she’s still making the music she actually wants to make.

@nessisonett Will you/have you already heard Stormzy's new album? Thoughts? What other hip hop do you like? @Th3solution What have you been listening to lately? @Jimmer-jammer I take it you haven't had time to listen to the Mingus album yet, so what else have you been listening to? Maybe I can get a recommendation from you?

@TheBrandedSwordsman I think I’ve only ever listened to one Stormzy album actually, his one from a couple years ago. I never really went out my way to listen to his stuff but I didn’t mind that album’s more soulful stuff. Most modern hip-hop that I listen to is more down the jazzy or experimental route like anything Madlib produces or Earl Sweatshirt/Billy Woods. My tastes in hip hop are pretty eclectic though, from Outkast to RZA to Clipping to The Pharcyde to Divine Styler and pretty much anything in between!

@TheBrandedSwordsman In addition to some Christmas music, I was actually listening to a playlist yesterday of songs I discovered through video games I’ve played. It included the Buzzcocks (from Guardians of the Galaxy), Child of the Parish (from Dirt 5), and D’Angelo (from Red Dead Redemption 2). I also have a couple random songs from Joji, AJR, and Frank Sinatra on the playlist. I know… it’s a weird selection. Cap it off with listening to some Handel and you can see I’m like a boat without a rudder
