JimiDaKilla’s long-awaited debut EP, Cognac Arcade, has finally touched down with the release of the two part video ‘This One’s For / Cognac Arcade’. This intricately themed musical journey is an interwoven tapestry packed with storytelling, humour, personality and hip-hop/pop sequenced beats. ‘This One’s For / Cognac Arcade’ offers the listener ‘goldfish bowl’ access into the crazy and colourful world of our Derby native,
Although Cognac Arcade is Jimi’s first ‘solo flight’ he’s been performing, recording and releasing with his ‘widely respected’ Derby rap collective Local Geezers for some time. With co-signs from the likes of SBTV’s Jamal Edwards, Grime MC Kamikaze & Link Up TV, Local Geezers have built up a solid reputation in the UK Rap scene for quality music over the past few years, releasing two solid EPs, a handful of high-end music videos, hilarious video and audio podcast programs whilst continuously developing and honing the Local Geezer’s brand position and strategy.
Ted Loco, who has been working with Jimi since Local Geezers formed back in 2016, has played a pivotal role in the creation of the Cognac Arcade EP, engineering, producing and mixing each and every song. The two of them have been developing their creative chemistry for a long time, Cognac Arcade is a labour of love, and definitely stands as their best work to date.
