Little Simz was the musical guest on Monday night’s Tonight Show, performing her latest single “Woman” from her upcoming album Sometimes I Might Be Introvert.
The British rapper and singer appeared on a stage decorated with gold curtains and chandeliers, where she was joined by her supporting vocalists and surrounded by her band. The simple setup was enough for Little Simz to instill the full force of the track, shouting out the strengths of different women from around the world and imparting this message to them: “I love how you go from zero to one hundred/And leave the dust behind, you’ve got this/All action, no talk.”
“Woman” and Little Simz’s previous single, “Introvert,” will both be featured on Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, out September 3rd via Age 101. The album, which follows the U.K. rapper’s 2019 release Grey Area, is produced by Little Simz and her regular collaborator Info, and will feature guest appearances from Obongjayar, Cleo Sol, and The Crown star Emma Corrin.

106 & Park was a cultural moment celebrating the best, brightest stars of Hip-Hop and R&B.
Kicking things off in 2000, the show was hosted by personalities A.J. Calloway and Marie “Free” Wright, with the intent to recognize the most popular music and music videos at the time. And while the show added bits like Wild Out Wednesday, Throwback Thursday, and Freestyle Fridays, the true star of the show was the countdown, where fans enjoyed the art of the music video, all curated by them. Fans would vote for the chance to include their favorite artist’s latest releases on the coveted Top 10 Countdown.
Some videos were so beloved, that they wound up having to be placed on the 106 & Park Video Hall of Fame, where the music video would be “retired” after appearing on the countdown list 65 times—a true testament to the power of fandom and the impact that some of these visuals had on the culture. As BET issues yet another tease of a potential 106 & Park reboot for its 25th Anniversary, VIBE thought it would be great to walk you through the music videos that had the honor of being retired and placed into the show’s Hall of Fame. Watch the videos below.
