David was born in the Russian city of Nizhnevartovsk. A little later, the parents decided to leave their hometown and settle in Ufa. From adolescence, the guy was fond of heavy music, and he became interested in rap thanks to the performance of the musician Noize MC.

It was a battle performance that deeply impressed David. Since then, he began to pay attention to hip-hop. While still very young, he recorded his first tracks at the home of one of his friends. Unfortunately, these rare records are not saved anywhere.

Although the first records remained unreleased, the rapper continued to work in the field of hip-hop. Jimbo's first song is CO2, which was released in 2014. During the recording, Jimbo collaborated with rapper Boulevard Depo.

However, before the release of the CO2 song, another work was recorded. It is not Jimbo's original material - the Iraq track is a longmix that was worked on by i61, Boulevard Depo, Tveth, Basic Boy, Glebasta Spal.

A video clip was shot for the song, where each performer had his own mise-en-scene, image and story. The video was released in August 2018 and currently has over 20 million views on YouTube.
