Is This Real? You Need To Know About Britain’s New ‘Clean’ Rapper Jimothy Lacoste

Mass unemployment in Britain in the 1970s gave us the Sex Pistols.

Brexit has gifted us Jimothy Lacoste.

Unlike The Sex Pistols who were raucously anti-establishment, Jimothy plays off normcore nostalgia and wants you to live a healthy lifestyle.

Also, his real name is Jimmy Gonzales, so you can stop judging his parents.

Here’s the Daily Beast:

Over the past year or so, Jimothy (real name Timothy Gonzales) has grown in status from YouTube oddity to cult star in Britain. At major music festivals like Reading and Leeds last summer, thousands of teenage fans moshed along to his mild-mannered anthems like Drugs, which combines the sentiment of a government health campaign with the swagger of a London rude boy. To a sparse drum machine beat: “You’re getting wrinkles, you’re looking dry/ Baby take it easy, stop getting high.”

Cool. let’s check out ‘Drugs’:

He also makes fun of people who voted for Brexit – although that’s not hard.

Oh and this song about buying socks is…something…

He may not be the next Eminem, but we think something different and unique is always worth giving the benefit of the doubt. Especially with a name like Jimothy.

Nah, I’m kidding.

Although someone must like him because he’s gone viral. That video about the socks got over 114 000 views.

As always, you do you…
