After recently teasing a new EP, Little Simz has shared the new project called Drop 6.

As with a lot of the music being released these days, all of the material was recorded during the lockdown, but it wasn't exactly an easy project to create. According to Simz, she started working on it at the beginning of April with the goal of finishing by month's end, and she nearly missed that goal because of self-doubt, conflicts about noise level with a neighbor working from home, struggles with her mental health and feelings of isolation.

"After serious procrastination I decided to stop being a lil bitch and cry baby and knuckle down on the EP," she says. "I gassed myself up. There's no one else here, I'm alone, I had to. It started to feel good. I started to get really excited, wheeling myself up, spudding myself. I had to. Then I completed it. and when? End of the month just as I'd set out too. Things come full circle in the end don't they? The middle feels like growing pains, self-doubt is a bitch and the only way out is through."

She adds: "Thank you for being the lights that you are. You're all needed, valued, appreciated, and loved. Not just by me of course and I am sure I can speak on behalf of everyone you hold dear in your lives close to you."

In addition to the music, Little Simz is doing a live streamed track-by-track and Q&A with fans at 2 p.m. EST.
