In an age when every self-tanned pop tart
talks tough about Pushing Boundaries by
ditching the Hanes Her Way and getting
arrested, Imani Coppola is sitting back on a
stoop in Bed Stuy and not giving a shit. A
brash, biracial beauty with the voice of an
angry angel and a truck-stop vocabulary,
she's more concerned with creating music that
feels like having a line of coke blown up
your ass. The release of her eighth studio
venture, The Black And White Album, which
drops in November 2007, marks a departure
from the sound to which many of her fans have
grown accustomed. The melancholic,
sample-heavy soundscapes featured on albums
like Chupacabra and Aphrodite have given way
to a more anarchic, visceral noise that
settles on no genre in particular. After
touring with Ghettotech collective Peeping
Tom and taking on experimental side projects
like Little Jackie—a 6os ponytail group
based on the Lisa Lisa song of the same
name—Imani has emerged with her most
eclectic and personal album to date. There
was a lot of biography to mine: As a
multi-racial kid growing up in the whitest of
Long Island suburbs, Imani basically grew up
neutral until she was 13—when hip-hop blew
up and she could finally cash in all her
black chips. ("Woke Up White," a punk track
off the latest album recalls a similar
identity crisis, which hit her when she was
walking through her brownstone—but not
brown-toned—neighborhood in Park Slope and
realized she needed to move.) While studying
Violin Performance in SUNY Purchase, she
briefly thought she might be Asian. But she
was given little time to explore this new
twist in her makeup, as she was swept up by
Columbia Records freshman year and pushed
into the studio to record an album for them.
A lot of transformations followed, including
a period of entrepreneurial poverty that saw
her living in Staten Island and reciting
lyrics into a Dictaphone, until she formed a
record label of one and began producing
albums independently. For The Black & White
Album, she teamed with Ipecac Recordings. She
currently resides in Brooklyn, NY, where she
continues to write and produce tracks that
she fully expects will blow your fucking
mind.
