Taken from the new print issue of THE FACE. Get your copy here. On a cool day in May, Little Simz dials in from a flat in London. Bare-faced, with a black T‑shirt on and her long dreadlocks tucked under a New Era cap, she’s grinning from ear to ear. The 30-year-old – born Simbiatu ​“Simbi” Abisola Abiola Ajikawo and raised in a Yoruba household in North London – is now five albums, and multiple accolades, deep into her career.
