Capitol I-Man

Having grown up in the American Samoan Islands, Hawaii and ultimately settling in Long Beach in the 7th grade – this artist is unusually multifaceted, multi cultured with a boundless talent, that know no limits. Left For Dead brings new and meaningful visionary intellect that is carefully laid out on hard grinding, base thumping tracks. The same style you have grown to love yet with an extraordinary story that not many fans know of. Just when you counted him out, the underdog has struck again!!

His musical catalog spans over two decades when one fateful day, while he was still in junior high, a mutual friend introduced him to Sinful a local Long Beach DJ. From that first introduction, they began working on music together tirelessly. A few years later Iman and Sinful went on to form Tha Mexakinz the first critically acclaimed rap duo to be signed to the Motown subsidiary Mad Sounds. With Iman’s rhyming in English and Sinful’s predominately Spanish lyrics, they went on to cross all cultural borders and stereotypes alike. They were responsible for such hit albums as Zig Zag, The Mexakinz and Crossing all Borders. Such hit singles as The Wake Up Show, Confessions, La Plaga and Phonkie Melodia. While touring they have packed venues while touring Internationally, as well as the entire Continental US.
