Welcome back to Season 4 of The Record Report! This week, we’re crossing the Atlantic to dive into the critically acclaimed third album by UK artist Little Simz, The Grey Area.
Released in 2019, The Grey Area cemented Little Simz as one of the most powerful voices in modern hip-hop. With tracks featured on shows like Ballers and dominating Apple Music playlists, this album explores themes of self-love, grief, and navigating a world teetering between utopia and dystopia. It’s a bold, unapologetic statement that resonates with listeners across genres and generations.
In this episode, Ahmad and Vance choose their top three tracks, debate whether grime influences shine through on the project, and unpack the deeper themes that make this album unforgettable. They also highlight Cleo Sol’s artistry, discuss Schoolboy Q’s Blue Lips, and suggest songs for Happy Days
