Jimmy Recard

2009 single by Drapht


"Jimmy Recard" is the first single released by Australian hip hop artist, Drapht,[2] taken from his third album, Brothers Grimm. "Jimmy Recard" received airplay on radio stations across Australia.[3][4][5][6] In an interview with Triple J, Drapht explained how he came up with the name.

I was thinking of successful names so I jumped on the net and actually googled successful names and came up with James and Recard. So I changed James to Jimmy and used Recard as the last name. I think a name does a lot for a character and where you go in life. And it was a positive track on the record because a lot of my stuff kind of feeds from negative ideas.[7]
