Issue 121 Little Simz

Little Simz is the fifth face of Clash 121.

“I appreciate my entire desire…”

Little Simz has reached the pinnacle of British music, yet it feels as though she’s only just getting started. Her 2021 album ‘Sometimes I Might Be Introvert’ spelled it out clearly – Simbi was here to stay, and she picked up our coveted Album Of The Year award in the process. Winning a BRIT Award – with her mum at her side – Simbi strolled into the record books, becoming the first woman to sell out three nights at London’s O2 Academy Brixton.

It’s an achievement we simply couldn’t allow to pass by silently. Clash profiled Little Simz in our new issue, looking back on our experiences with this pivotal artist while chatting to those close to her about her storied ascent.

We are honoured to give Little Simz her very own Clash cover using exclusive imagery shot by photographer  who was one of those closest to Simz' touring party throughout last year. A special edition to salute a voice who is defining British music in the 21^st century.

Also featured in this issue are Koffee, Syd, Kehlani, Bree Runway, multi-faceted creative force Alewya; the inscrutable Deyaz; R&B force Raveena; Manchester polymath Iceboy Violet; NYC alt-pop collective MICHELLE; UK rap hit machine Young T & Bugsey, and many more.
