Liimo

Liimo is a hip-hop collective from Austin, Texas, with three members: Jester handles frontman duties and songwriting, Johnny M makes the beats, and Killa works as the DJ and hype man. They put out their debut album 'Old School' in 2018, which included the title track that got some attention online. In 2020 they followed it up with 'Renaissance'.

Their music leans toward classic hip-hop sounds with some modern touches, and they've written about social issues like police brutality, which has drawn both praise and criticism. The group faced some early skepticism about whether they could really tap into that older hip-hop feel, but they kept at it and gradually built a following.

You can hear their approach on tracks like 'Old School' and 'If You Love Me' from their catalog. They haven't shied away from straightforward production and lyrics that aim for that throwback vibe without too much polish.
