Buro. London is now live and their first cover star is rising rap superstar Little Simz

The straight-talking rapping acting triple threat who has been hyped by Kendrick Lamar and Lauryn Hill. With a Mercury-nominated album and leading role in cult TV show, Top Boy, this is Little Simz, and her time is now.

When Little Simz performs live, she marches on stage where her band wait for her, carrying a handheld loudspeaker. She holds it up to her mouth, and over a surging bassline she yells out to the crowd, “Stop f*cking with my heart!”

It’s the opening line to one of her songs, “Boss”, and a fitting introduction to the 26-year-old North London rapper and actor, whose real name is ​Simbiatu, or Simbi, Ajikawo​. Ferocious and urgent, “Boss” is an anthemic declaration of strength and independence with deliriously rousing wordplay. ​”I don’t need that stress, that stress” she roars, “I’m a boss in a f*cking dress.”
