Imani Coppola is a musician from [[Big Applesauce|New York City]], known for playing multiple instruments (her albums credit her for guitars, keyboards and violins) and switching between normal singing and rapping. Her style can basically be summed up as [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly]] or [[Genre Roulette]]: a combination of [[Hip Hop]], [[Alternative Rock]], [[Pop]], [[Funk]]/[[Soul]] and whatever else is handy, while largely falling under the umbrella of "alternative". Basically, think The [[Beastie Boys]] crossed with ''[[The Beatles|The White Album]]''.
