London hip-hop star Little Simz has announced her brand new album, titled No Thank You.

The rapper’s 2021 album, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert bowled over all in its path, scooping its maker a BRIT Award and the Mercury Prize. Little Simz has now confirmed plans for a follow-up, due in 2023.

The announcement arrived with a short clip layered in aphorisms:

"emotion is energy in motion
honour your truth and feelings
eradicate fear
boundaries are important"

Simbiatu "Simbi" Abisola Abiola Ajikawo (Little Simz) first rose to prominence with the independent release of her first three albums, namely A Curious Tale of Trials + Persons (2015), Stillness in Wonderland (2016) and Grey Area (2019).

The Islington rapper's 2019 LP was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize and won the awards for Best Album at both the Ivor Novello Awards and the NME Awards. Her fourth album, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert garnered widespread critical acclaim, with several publications deeming it the best album of 2021.

It went on to win the 2022 Mercury Prize, and earned her the 2022 Brit Award for Best New Artist and the Libera Award for Best Hip-Hop/Rap Record.

No Thank You is available to pre-order now.
