In 2022, Rimzee most recently released his acclaimed third mixtape, Cold Feet which peaked at number 11 on the UK Albums Chart.[2]

Music career

In 2010, Rimzee released his first video "2010 Freestyle / New York Minute Remix". He later released The Upper Clapton Dream with singles such as "Here I Am", "I'm On", "Keep Stackin'", "Everyday" and his cover of Adele's "Hometown" in 2012. ^{[citation needed]}

In July 2013, Rimzee was officially sentenced to 13 years in jail for shooting at an unmarked police car - curtailing his burgeoning music career.[3] He was released on licence after serving six-and-a-half years.[4]

Following Rimzee's return home from jail, in 2019, he released his second mixtape, Upper Clapton Dream 2 on 27 November 2020. The charting mixtape included features from Potter Payper, M24, Snap Capone and Haile (from WSTRN); with "Xabsi", "Lifestyle Cold", "Jada & Styles" and "Anything" being some of the standout tracks.[5]

Rimzee's Upper Clapton Dream mixtape series name was inspired by Black the Ripper's mixtape, The Edmonton Dream.[6]

In 2021, Rimzee released singles "PTSD",[7] "Split Decisions"[8] and "Expensive Pain" featuring Born Trappy,[9] leading BBC Radio 1Xtra to announce Rimzee as one of their Hot for 2022 artists on 14 December.[10]

Rimzee released his third official mixtape, entitled Cold Feet on October 14th 2022; featuring the likes of Giggs, Young Adz, Emeli Sandé and more. In the project's first week of release, it charted independently at number 11 - just shy of top 10 in the UK's Official Album Charts[11], while being number 1 in the Official Hip Hop and R&B Album Charts [12]

Business career

In 2021, Rimzee announced the opening of his fast food establishment, Burgers & Bagels, located in Fulham, South West London.[13][14]
