About Me:
Kamal Imani was born in Harlem, New York, he experienced early childhood in the Bronx New York as well as the Teaneck New Jersey suburbs. In a sense he had the best of both worlds. The common threads that he found him self surrounded by and introduced to were hip hop, street culture, drugs, peer pressure and relationships. Being raised by a single mother who worked overtime and extra jobs to help raise him and his 2 younger sisters, Kamal was a latch key kid who learned responsibility and was given the freedom to experiment with his environment.

At the age of 7 Kamal started writing poetry and at 9 he was a MC/Rapper, DJ and Graffiti artist as were most of his friends. In the inner city and the suburbs he watched his mother sacrifice and struggle as she strived to survive. Sometimes the heat or electricity would be off for a while until a check would come or possibly money from one of the children’s fathers. There was always food on the table even if it wasn’t what they wanted and she ruined her credit trying to provide clothing and toys for him and his sisters. Kamal watched his mother faint and have nervous breakdowns on several occasions. Due to this, he never wanted to let her down or break her heart by allowing himself to go to jail or be killed, so even though he became deeply involved in experimenting with the many things that teens get involved with, partying and running the streets, he was able to eventually pull himself out of the cipher/circle to find his way to completing higher education and becoming a happily married husband and father.

He is currently a teacher and mentor to emotionally challenged urban youth and has wrote a book entitled “You Got Next (Real Talk for the Hip Hop Generation) which addresses the teen issues of sex, drugs, gangs, sagging pants, marriage, parents, education and more. Available on Kamal’s website.

Kamal is a spoken word performance poet, MC, actor, community activist, teacher and has written and produced a film about some of his teen years called “Up in the Attic”. Kamal’s aim is to inspire, motivate and guide today’s youth to set and focus on positive goals and dreams.

Kamal has a new workout and dance song called “Work that Body Get it In” and new spoken word and hip hop songs fused with house music “Eternally Yours”, “Africans Unite “One God One Aim One Destiny”, “You Got the Power”, “You Gotta Praise Him” and more all available on:
