Listen to Little Simz’ new EP ‘Drop 7’
Little Simz has shared a new EP, ‘Drop 7’ – you can listen to it in full below.
The London rapper announced the seven-song collection earlier this week, sharing its tracklist on social media. It follows on from her 2020 EP ‘Drop 6’, which was released ahead of her albums ‘Sometimes I Might Be Introvert’ (2021) and ‘No Thank You’ (2022).
Arriving today (February 9), the Jakwob-produced ‘Drop 7’ sees Simz adopt a more club-orientated sound. It features the songs ‘Mood Swings’, ‘Fever’, ‘Torch’, ‘SOS’, ‘I Ain’t Feeling It’, ‘Power’ and ‘Far Away’.

Simz released ‘Drop 1’ in 2014, and has since shared six additional instalments in the series. Speaking to NME in 2021, the artist said she “parked” ‘Sometimes I Might Be Introvert’ during the COVID pandemic to work on the sixth edition.
“Like, whatever, [I made it] just in my living room – call it a lockdown project,” she explained at the time.
In other news, Simz is up for three prizes at next month’s BRIT Awards 2024: Album Of The Year (‘No Thank You’), Artist Of The Year and Hip-Hop/Grime/Rap Act.
Responding to the nods, she said: “I’m so honoured to be nominated for 3 BRIT awards this year. Thank you to my supporters and to the BRIT Awards. Congratulations to everyone nominated too!”
On Wednesday (February 7), Simz won the Best Hip-Hop Act award at the MOBOs 2024 in Sheffield.
Simz performed at Alexandra Palace in London last November as part of her 2023 UK headline tour. In a five-star review of the gig, NME called the artist “UK rap’s greatest talent”.
