Lauryn Hills Co-Signs Little Simz, Says Simz Reminds Her Of Her Prime

Lauryn Hill is someone known for her radical, ahead of its time discography, one that was built with integrity and societal change in mind. As one of the most respected women in hip hop, her appreciation is everything — especially when it comes to up and coming women in rap.

One such rapper taking her legacy forward is Little Simz, whose work talks deeply and creatively about race, gender and politics in a manner that’s as fresh and catchy as it is relevant. Now, Simz has received her flowers from Ms. Lauryn Hill herself.

Recently, the two linked up and Simz posted a gift she received from Hill on her Instagram story. It seems to be a perfume with a unique inscription plate that’s customised to read ‘Lil “Lauryn In Her Prime” Simz’ — probably the biggest compliment anyone could get from the legend herself. Salute to Simz for being one of the top artists coming out of the UK and taking on the torch!
