History

Jameka “Jimmi Pynk” Dobbs has always been deep into the hip-hop culture, starting as a dancer at the age of 8. Turning to the art of emceeing at the age of 12 under the influence of her older sister, she quickly learned the aspects of battling and free styling. Growing up as a chubby kid with glasses, quick wit and fast lyrics made her a force to be reckoned with in rhymes circles. "When you're a girl, you know to expect cats to say you ugly, you fat, or you a ho. I just made sure that what I said carried more weight than I did." Changing names several times before settling on Jimmi Pynk, she quickly gained respect of local emcees with her old school mentality about hip-hop, and her original style.

Now, Jimmi Pynk is the premiere female emcee in Youngstown and is one of the top emcees out of the 330 area.
