Raptalk hooked up with East Oakland female artist Minamean for an exclusive interview. Something very interesting happened to Minamean a few months ago that was all over the news - she was attacked in a local recording studio and discusses her violent and troubling experience with Raptalk.

Since then, Minamean has been traveling all over USA trying to make her musical dreams come true, one day at a time. Also in stock trading and the clothing business, Minamean understands the importance of multi-tasking and spreads around her talents and smarts in every area possible.
