UK rap artists: <a href="spotify:artist:2Y21p3FaPdJwXAc9rwn37z" data-name="SHIMM 1">SHIMM 1</a> (aka Shimron Equiano) and TRG (aka Nico Hemmings) are brothers who grew up in the West Midlands (England) and recorded their music in SHIMM1’s music studio, based at the Custard Factory in Digbeth, Birmingham.
In the mid-2000’s the brothers had already racked up a string of appearances on the likes of MTV Base, the BBC & ITV and had performed together all over the country – from Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham in front of 30,000 people, to the 10 Room, London. In the process, they became a solid act, together.
In 2005 the brothers also headlined a concert at Wolverhampton Grand Theatre to mark its 5th anniversary with City status.
By 2008, they decided to ‘hang the mic up’ and pursue other ventures.
Fast forward 11 years, and sadly on 4th July 2019, TRG lost his fight with a rare cancer.
To ‘celebrate’ his life, and to mark 1 year since his passing; older brother SHIMM1 has dusted off an old recording that they both featured on – nearly 15 years ago, and has made a move back ‘in front’ of the camera.
Eyes On Me is set for a release date of Friday 3rd July 2020.
NB. The supporting music video was filmed using a Samsung Note 10 with SHIMM1’s kids as the stars!
