Iman Omari Cooks w/ Classic Soul Heat On 'Rhythm Roulette'

Feeling a little weighed-down by the blistering heat of summer? Midweek blues got you in a spot? Fear not, as Mass Appeal has relinquished its newest episode of the always necessary, always proper, Rhythm Roulette. Recent outings have featured the likes of Hi-Tek, Da Beatminerz, 9th Wonder and DJ Dahi (all worth your eyes and ears strict attention.) But today's contestant: none other than Iman Omari.

The LA-native skips the record store formalities and heads right on over to his uncle's house, where he picks up a rare groove compilation, a Hanni El Khatib record and Earth, Wind and Fire's Electric Universe. All of which make for ample sample fodder for the young frequency freaker, cooking up two delightfully wavy specimens for you to rock with and apply your very own bars to. Or just let 'me loose with no vocal accompaniment, they are that good. Step into to the hot seat with Iman Omari on the latest installment of Mass Appeal's Rhythm Roulette down below. Keep an eye on his Bandcamp for that wavy EWF flip to hit the market. Or just skim through the tapes. You won't be disappointed.
