"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.

Contents

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] [9] and #10 in Triple J's Hottest 100 for 2008. [10] [11] The single also broke into the top 100 in the ARIA Charts reaching #92. [12]
