Script error: No such module "Check for conflicting parameters". "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][9] and #10 in Triple J's Hottest 100 for 2008,[10][11] and #71 on the Triple J Hottest 100 of Australian Songs in 2025.[12]
The single also broke into the top 100 in the ARIA Charts reaching #92.[13]
Music video
The music video was produced by Moving Still Productions.[citation needed]
