Watch 2022 Mercury Prize winner Little Simz rap on BBC 1Xtra aged 11

Ahead of last night's 2022 Mercury Prize Award ceremony, Little Simz reposted a resurfaced clip of her rapping on BBC 1Xtra at just 11-years-old. In the clip, she raps, "See my real name is Simbi / My tag name is Simz / Don't watch me and the way I'm rocking my Timbs."

Later in the clip, she adds, "'Cause it's all about your mind / And the power of the pen, look / I'm Little Simz / And I set trends / Don't like liars / Hate fake friends / Don't like people that hate on Simz."
