In 2016, Oompa hit Boston with her critically acclaimed debut album November 3rd. Almost three years later, she is dropping the highly anticipated album Cleo and performing a record release show at The Sinclair on Saturday, August 10th. We’re giving away two tickets!
The Roxbury native describes herself as “a nationally-acclaimed, Boston-born, poet, rapper, and educator, who is forever representing the queer, black, orphaned, hood kids and them.” She is the 2017 Women of the World Poetry Slam champion and was nominated for Boston Music Awards’ New Artist of the Year in 2017. Oompa is changing the voice of Boston hip hop by making space for queer female emcees through her vulnerable and introspective verses.
Oompa will be joined on The Sinclair stage by up-and-coming Boston hip hop artists Jefe Replay, TiDES, Red Shaydez, and Benji. This giveaway closes Thursday, August 8 at 10 PM, so get your submission in soon!
