Hey y’all
I know it’s been a minute but I’m back with a new artist
for y’all to check out, by the name of Iman Omari. Earlier this year I had the
pleasure of hearing this talented artist first the time on Solange’s most
recent compilation album, Saint Heron, put out by her personal record label
Saint Records. On there was when I first heard his single, ‘Energy’, but it
wasn’t until this past summer before my departure to Brazil, that my brother
put me on more of his work. When I tell you this young artist has got some
talent that borderlines on musical genius, I mean it! You know I don't play when it comes to my music :)
Still not convinced? Check out more info about him and a
few samples of his work below.
~IMAN OMARI~
The Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter and producer has
got sounds that will truly nourish the heart and soul. His dreamy melodic Hip-hop/R&B
tunes have a hint of spaced aged soul and jazz fusion with lyrics reflective of
life experience reminiscent of Stevie Wonder’s story-telling ability and A
Tribe Called Quest’s innovative beat production. He’s produced works for other
underground West Coast artists such as PacDiv, Dom Kennedy, and OverDoz. He
even landed co-production credits on Kendrick Lamar’s critically acclaimed 2011
mixtape, Section .80. His
encapsulating sound is truly groundbreaking, innovative and awe-inspiring. The
makings of a true artists in his own right, his beats and sound draw the
listener in with magnetic pull only your soul will understand. His discography
consists of 9 different EPs and LPs completed over the last several years since
the age of 17, with his most recent work, Samadhi,
having been dropped this past summer.
So if you dig dope beats with a new aged west coast sound
and slick vocals then this young artist just might take you on a ride your ears
will quite possibly thank you for. Check out some of his latest stuff for

Until next time y’all
