J&G Presents: Little Simz, Jubilee, & JZMN
Little Simz-
A tough-rhyming rapper whose approach is equally effective over jagged and smooth productions, Little Simz (originally Lil Simz) is also known as an actor, for her recurring roles on the BBC's Spirit Warriors and E4's Youngers. Born Simbi Ajikawo in Islington, England, she gained notice through her television gigs but saw music as her real calling long before she reached the screen. She released her first mixtape in 2010 and continued to issue freely available material, including Blank Canvas -- a mixtape supported by Jay-Z's Life+Times website -- for several years. Her 2014 was prolific, a period during which four EPs came out and impressed peers and DJs alike. In early 2015, she was crowned Breakthrough Artist of the Year at BBC DJ Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Awards. That September, she released her first proper album, A Curious Tale of Trials + Persons, through her own AGE 101 label. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
Jubilee-
Jubilee's long been known as "Brooklyn's bass sweetheart," but she's also an ace DJ, one who can capably move between upfront bass music, sweaty tropical jams, party rap, UK grime, house, techno, R&B, dancehall, and more. She released her critically acclaimed Pull Ova EP via Mixpak earlier this year, and recently dropped her JMZ Riddim EP, also through Mixpak. Throw in remixes of Canblaster, Hydraulix, Creep, and Zuzuka Poderosa, as well as collaborations with frequent partners-in-crime Burt Fox and Star Eyes, and it's easy to say the Jubilee is quickly becoming a go-to producer.
JZMN-
This 20 year old DJ/Producer studying at UPenn. While her main focus is electronic music, she influenced by a wide variety of genres and artists.
