British-Ghanaian rapper ShaSimone trades in an exuberant form of confidence. Just this year she has mixed party-starting afrobeats and classic hip-hop on her Simma Down EP as well as turning the BPM way up and jumping on jungle producer Clipz's "No Time" alongside Beenie Man. Across genres she always appears unflappable, always ready to get her bars off and keep building her name higher and higher.
Her "Top 5" video, then, resembles something of a victory lap. The opening track on Simma Down comes with that trademark ShaSimone energy as she declares, "I'm top five dead or alive" and tops it off by stating, "They're gonna miss me when I'm gone, the heavens will cry."
Behind-the-scenes footage of ShaSimone performing at Glastonbury and an appearance at Rolling Loud set the scene for a video, premiering below, that also includes the moment she joined Dave on stage at a huge London show, performing their We’re All Alone in This Together track "Both Sides of a Smile" together.
"The video for 'Top 5' reflects my achievements and my music journey this year, along with meeting some amazing people – it’s like a music diary for me," ShaSimone tells The FADER. "There’s been so many ups and downs, but every moment has been steps taken for me to be in the position that I’m in today”
