Jada Imani is an East St. Louis-born, Bay Area-raised rapper and MC. With dreamy melodies with a gritty lyricism, the 22 year-old artist has charted bold directions as a voice in Hip-Hop and Neo-Soul. Her sound reflects a range of influences, including Black Star, Jill Scott, Hiatus Kaiyote, and hyphy stars like Mac Dre. In November 2020, Imani began a 6-month EP series -- a tribute to Oakland’s First Friday tradition, where her music career began. Recent coverage in NPR described her sound as a "high vibrational clapback." Imani has also been spotlighted in KQED, Bandcamp, Thizzler, and V13.
