Little Simz Shares "Dead Body Part 2 + 3" ft. Stormzy & Kano

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

At only 21 years old, UK MC Little Simz has covered extensive ground. With multiple mixtapes and grade-A singles under her belt, Simz finally dropped her debut full-length record, A Curious Tale of Trials + Persons last week and is following it up with the release of "Dead Body Part 2 + 3." The track features rising UK MCs Stormzy and Kano and is positively relentless. Bass sourced from places more sinister and subterranean than the London tube mix with scattered hi-hats and gnarled synth to paint a vivid scene: this is music for those unafraid to venture outside into dangerous dark nights.

"This one is really special. Not only do I have 2 of my favourite emcees on the one track, I also get to get a few things off my chest," Little Simz said of the track, noting that the track is, in a way, a spot-on epilogue to her new record. "Ideally this should be listened to right after A CURIOUS TALE OF TRIALS + PERSONS, as it is the perfect encore to my debut."

The track was debuted on Beats 1 Radio by Julie Adenuga and can be copped on iTunes directly right this moment. Be sure you listen all the way through til the end, when Simz takes control just as the track scales back in a kind of murky sunrise after all the opening tumult.
