Name: Jimi Priceless

Birthplace: Cape Town, South Africa

Currently residing: Cape Town, South Africa

Musical past and present in one rambling run-on sentence: I first started writing raps, then started making beats towards the end of high school. I started taking making music seriously and released my first songs in 2011. Since then, I have been working on my craft and exploring different styles. I am now working on my upcoming album, I’m Fine, Thanks for Asking, which will be released on March 13th 2017.
