Tuesday's Artist Hour focuses on one of the most compelling voices in UK music: Little Simz has spent the past decade pushing the boundaries of hip hop, combining sharp lyricism with bold production and a clear sense of identity.

From early mixtapes to albums like Grey Area and the Mercury Prize-winning Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, her work has consistently stood out. Each release offers something different, whether it’s the orchestral sweep of her more recent material or the raw, direct energy of her earlier tracks.

Her latest album, No Thank You, is a confident, stripped-back record. It blends soul and spoken word influences with personal reflections on the music industry, relationships, and the pressure to perform. The production is spacious, the lyrics are unflinching, and the overall effect is one of clarity and control.

Across the hour we’ll explore key tracks from throughout her career, including Venom, Introvert, Gorilla, and Two Worlds Apart. For those who have followed her from the start and for those who are just discovering her music, this is a chance to hear how Little Simz has developed into one of the most respected and original artists working today.

The Artist Hour with Little Simz airs at 8pm on Tuesday on Today Radio.
