Hot on the heels of a MOBO nomination for ‘Best Newcomer’, the UK rap trailblazer continues to cement his name as one of the best lyricists emanating from these shores with a hard-hitting new single. “Money and Power” sees Rimzee deliver his trademark bars atop punchy percussive elements, light piano keys and echoing vocal samples, making for an impactful soundtrack. Exclaiming “first you get the money, then you get the power, then you get the women”, Rimzee demonstrates his innate ability in crafting powerful and thought-provoking real rap music.
The UK artist has left an undeniable imprint in the rap landscape since the release of his acclaimed debut project, The Upper Clapton Dream, in 2012 — a tape that boasts longevity and culture —with the follow up Upper Clapton Dream 2 releasing in 2020, containing 13 songs and features from the likes of Potter Payper, M24, Ay Em, Snap Capone and Stardom amongst others. Last year saw Rimzee release his most complete body of work yet in Cold Feet, spanning eighteen immaculately curated tracks exploring past pain and trauma — charting independently at #11. Joined by the likes of K-Trap, Giggs, Emeli Sandé, Maverick Sabre, Nemzzz and Tiggs Da Author, Cold Feet was a landmark release, demonstrating Rimzee’s versatility and position in the scene, calling on a string of A-List rappers and artists to join him on this musical journey.
Talent and creativity in music has enabled Rimzee to turn his life around – from deprivation to becoming a reformed entrepreneur, Rimzee now proudly owns a string of successful businesses including a car rental business, a recordand recording studio, all alongside a growing property portfolio. Last year saw Rimzee launch an initiative that put successful entrepreneurs in workshops and discussions with young people from disadvantaged and under-served communities, showing a clear motivation to use his growing fame, influence and business experience to help the next generation of young people escape the vicious cycle of crime. In the run up to his forthcoming album, Rimzee has continued to give back to communities, feeding over 700 people across London and giving away 70 jackets in his hometown of Hackney, with plenty more initiatives on the horizon.
Musically, the Hackney native continues to set the standard for UK rap and forge one of the most exciting paths in the game right now. With the release of these new singles setting the tone for his forthcoming mixtape, the next twelve months look to be an even bigger year than ever before, for an artist grounded in credibility and natural talent.
