Notes

Her style can be described as a unique blend of poetic lyrics, passionate delivery, and intelligent wordplay contained within a currant of constant positive energy. Having been a writer and a poet since the age of 10, it seems that her progression into the rhythmic world of hip-hop was inevitable. Growing up amid the culturally diverse artistic scenes of Philadelphia Pennsylvania her sound developed into a fluid combination of a deep respect for history and innovative style. Jalima was surrounded by an eclectic mix of musical styles ranging from jazz, hip-hop, rock to classical, and has been influenced by genres of sci-fi, philosophy and the traditionally great literary works. Although being deemed an emcee for lack of a better description anyone can tell by listening to Jalima that her musical explorations delve way beyond hip-hops norm.
