Bomani Armah & Immaletchufinish
Bomani Armah (aka The Watermelon Man, aka Mr. Read a Book, aka The Black Colin Powell, aka The Hip-Hop Levar Burton) is "...not a rapper, but a poet with a hip-hop style". Most known for his viral hit "Read a Book", Bomani combines the poetic lyricism and social commentary in the tradition of Langston Hughes and KRS-ONE, with the soul stirring sounds you can find anywhere in the African Diaspora. He's a must see, whether solo or with his afro-funk-rock-gogo-hiphop band IMMALETCHUFINISH.
