JIMOTHY
“Hates being lazy, hates being dumb, hangs with posh white kids and loves his darling mum.” This introspective freestyle is a quick summary of the personality and left-of-centre outlook of North Londoner Timmy Gonzalez, AKA Jimothy. His music has tinges of Mike Skinner and draws accidental parallels to North London’s dance-grime-electro scene. Yet, his musical lineage seems more informed by an internal struggle with adolescent boredom and filling a void for the shy and insecure. In a world of constant bombardment of “new, hot” 18 year olds, Jimothy’s approach is more mature and considered, shying away from “living for the likes”. Get a taste of North London grime 2.0 at GTM 2019 and see why Jimothy is leading the new wave of UK road rap.
