Just a music lover. If it's done with passion and soul (and a strong bassline too), then probably it's some good quality vibrations.

Safari Man's Album Reviews
Simbiatu 'Simbi' Abisola Abiola Ajikawo, the very talented artist droped the newest release after the massive success that "GREY Area" was. And it's a shame that it's only 13 minutes long.
Ironically, the first two tracks sound very similar to the first two ones on "GREY Area" album, with the opener showing all the groove of the british grime scene mixed with a more eddy and experimental vibe, which is more or like the sonority with which Little Simz was first recognized for. The second track also show that Simz excels in producing some sick basslines, alongside with some good lyrics and rapping.
But what really shined and surprised me was the other three tracks on this EP; they showed this low key jazz-rap that suits her voice so damn well. To be honest, she did tried to imitate this Mike Jenkins or Saba vibe in Grey towards the end of that project, but not with this cohesion on the beat, the rapping and the overall structure. Really impressed, especially with the last two songs, and I'm eager to hear more of this from the british lady.
Even though this is a very short project, it shown the range that, musically, Little Simz can touch, from the british grime to the american jazz-rap, always with some very talented bass behind the composition.
TRACK OF THE SPOTLIGHT: The colab with Alewya "where's my lighter" is such a brilliant introspective rap song, with one of the best fitted basslines I've heard this year. The lyrics, the message of humility while being one of the greats in the game, the chorus with Alewya voice in the background, all explodes into something so beautifully powerful that I almost have no words to make summarize it more
