Jimmy Ethicz

Jimmy Ethicz is underground Hip-Hop artist out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. With his passion for music, and a strong grasp of right and wrong, he is an outspoken force that has been missing in mainstream media for quite some time. Although, he is relatively a new addition to the rap game, Jimmy has always had a knack for writing, poetry, and self expression. He’s never been afraid to voice his opinion, and the fear to do so will likely never develop. If it does, you’ll know hell has frozen over, and that Santa Claus really is a space alien from Uranus. His love for poetry had been with him his entire life. Being “Disabled” left him with feelings he felt no other person could feel or understand, so he chose to write down these feelings more and more over the years of his youth. In the beginning he would write simple poems about how his Cerebral Palsy made him feel. Later on, after his father was killed when he was Eight-years-old, the poetry took on a new form. It became something completely unexpected. With the body of loneliness that seemed to follow him around, all Jimmy wanted to be was accepted. When he saw someone rapping in the cafeteria of his elementary school, he took note of the reception it got. He thought to himself how cool it would be to see that kind of attention rather than the pitiful glances, or the isolation he’d grown used to. That’s when he knew he wanted to rap. Even though it wasn’t for the right reasons, he knew that this was something he could do. The next day, he came to school with a song about how his wheelchair was a blue Mercedes, and how he would roll up to the club and pick up all the ladies. Despite how funny it sounds, and how lacking it was of discipline, it was a hit.That moment was the very first time he’d ever really felt acceptance, and it was the start of the development of who “The Ethical One” is today. For years, the craft he chose cemented him as one of the cooler kids in school. He’d always have a punchline to go with what was “in” at the moment. He was conscious of what wanted to be heard, and that’s what he let you hear. All while keeping the rhymes he held dear to him locked within his mind to never see the light of day.
