UK rapper Timmy has an interesting career as he transitioned from small screens via the acclaimed UK crime documentary series Banged Up and now he is busy laying his life tales on wax. Fuelled by his tumultuous past and time in prison, Timmy is bringing something refreshing and authentic to the drill sub-genre with his style of insightful and candid raps that leave no stone unturned and bring listeners deep into the mix of the action. His latest release "Speedy Gonzales" is a hard-hitting drill record that explores brotherhood in the strict sense and the need to stick by your guns regardless of the situation. Backed by a haunting vocal -sampled driven, bass-heavy drill-drum groove, Timmy takes us into his world and the many ups and downs he had to go through to get to his current position in life.
The accompanying video has a grim and scenic feel that taps into Timmy's engaging and vivid lyricism. Viewers follow Timmy into a decommissioned prison and are given an unusual tour.
"Speedy Gonzales" is the follow-up to his debut single "Freestyle" which was released 9 months ago. Timmy is presently putting the finishing touches on his debut EP Back and Forth, a compelling body of work that will explore the rapper's physical and mental health struggles and how he overcame it all.
