HIP-HOP & RAP

Quick$and (T!ME) demo

Coin Collector began its life during the quiet, uncertain days of the ACT lockdown. With live gigs on pause and venues shuttered, This Way Orkestra’s vocalist Jim Sharrock found himself, like many artists, out of work. In search of connection and creative spark, he launched a community project that brought him face-to-face with the youngest members of his neighbourhood.

Each week, Jim interviewed primary-aged kids from around his local area. They talked about life in lockdown, their families, their passions, and their thoughts on music. From these conversations, Jim wrote original songs inspired by each child’s story, which he then shared during his weekly livestream show, Lucky Jim, broadcast from a dance studio at Belco Arts.

One of those children was Josh, a neighbour with a deep fascination for coin collecting and the naval history of the early 20th century. When asked what kind of song he wanted, Josh opted for a rap about his coin collection rather than a WWII sea shanty—a lucky break, as Jim recalls. The result was Coin Collector, a quirky and energetic track that premiered live on the show.

Later, with support from an ArtsACT grant, Jim recorded a full album of songs from the project titled Lucky Jim and His Imaginary Friends, including the original version of Coin Collector. As the song made its way into the This Way Orkestra setlist, Jim and bass player Simon Milman developed and expanded the piece, transforming it into a playful, brass-fuelled crowd favourite.

From lockdown lull to festival stages, Coin Collector remains a tribute to creativity, curiosity, and collaboration.⁩ 

Coin Collector

crack w/ Imdoingdamage

This track blends smooth R&B melodies with wavy, atmospheric vibes over a Don Toliver–inspired beat. It’s hypnotic, vibey, and made for late-night drives or just zoning out. With airy vocals, layered harmonies, and a dreamy bounce, the song captures that futuristic R&B energy while keeping it soulful and emotional.
