Sounds Like
something recorded on cheap equipment in somebody's bedroom, but hopefully it also sounds inspired and if nothing else, genuine.
Coming out of the South Side of Chicago, Rimani brings a unique philosophical flow delivered with a sharp tongue. With a strong Peruvian heritage and urban upbringing, Rimani makes songs born from his life and experiences. The questions he asks, the images he paints, and the rhythm of his speech all come from the heart. Constantly working on his writing, Rimani has recently delved into the world of spoken word. While music is not his job, it is his passion, and he is always looking for new opportunities to collaborate and enrich his own style. He hopes to tap into Chicago's vibrant underground scene to perform, network, and learn, with the eventual goal of putting out a mixtape that hip hop heads can be proud of. Check the tracks and leave some love.

Yo RiMaNi RHyMeSasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
