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.

Los Angeles-based designer and recent-ish hip-hop producer Real Bad Man is taking up after Boldy James' prolific work ethic. He is rolling out the red carpet for his next collaborative project with the Detroit spitter titled Conversational Pieces.
Per a press release, the duo will be releasing their third body of work on May 2 via the producer's namesake record label. This will be a follow-up to 2022's Killing Nothing, as well as their debut back in 2020, Real Bad Boldy. The latter also happened to be Bad Man's first LP. As per usual, the tracklist is going to be tight knit.
There's going to be a total of 13 songs and three features. One of them is Conway the Machine, and the other two are a part of the lead singles to Conversational Pieces. Real Bad Man and Boldy James have decided to recruit Washington D.C. artist dreamcastmoe and Run The Jewels' El-P for "Come Back Around" and "It Factor," respectively.
Overall, the vibe we are getting from both tracks is very much "conversational. From the fairly chill production from Bad Man to James' very matter-of-fact deliveries on both cuts, they are definitely following the blueprint they laid out for themselves. See what they are hitting for with the links below.
Quotable Lyrics From "Come Back Around":
Uncle love to smoke and drink, granny on the couch slumped
Needle hanging out her arm, shoot up at least twice a day
Kids damn near starving, cooking noodles in the microwave
Where peoplе slave and don't ever gеt a job promotion
Auntie working two jobs every day but she be closet smoking
Where n****s sick and tired of being tired of hoping
