"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]
The single reached #1 on the AIR Charts[8] and #10 in Triple J's Hottest 100 for 2008.[9] The single also broke into the top 100[10] in the ARIA Charts reaching #92.[11]
