When Little Simz heard the beat for her latest hit, "Gorilla," the British star knew what to do. "It sounds monstrous," she tells GENIUS. "It sounds boisterous." With that cue, she went off in her signature style, delivering a heart-pounding anthem full of confidence, nostalgia and empowerment.
That approach worked well, as the song has earned millions of streams across platforms as well as a dazzling music video directed by the legendary Dave Meyers. Produced by Inflo, the song is a standout cut from her 2022 album, "NO THANK YOU." On today’s episode of VERIFIED, get insight on why the British MC makes music for the future and not just for today.
