Listen "Jada Imani on Vibing with Hawaiian Frogs and Riffing Off Mac Dre"

Episode Synopsis

Neo-soul and hip-hop artist Jada Imani gets her inspiration from a range of lived experiences: parking tickets, lessons from her parents, and Mac Dre lyrics.
Despite the pandemic, Jada has been dropping three-track EPs every first Friday since October, and plans to continue to do so until March. It's a legacy of the collaborations and vibe she cultivated while organizing and hosting First Friday events at the Alan Blueford Center in Oakland for over 3 years.
While honoring her origins, she's also incorporating inspiration from her new surroundings -- like Hawaiian tree frogs.
This week on Rightnowish we talk to Jada Imani about astrology, 'high vibration clapbacks' and how music was her access to culture when she was a small girl in a small town.
