This is a terribly squished-up word. You can stretch it out to "I am going to" (= I'm gonna = I'mma), so "I'mma talk to him" means "I am going to talk to him".
Here's an example from STAN by Eminem:
"If I have a daughter, guess what I'mma call her?
I'mma name her Bonnie."
Another variant is " 'monna " (again, "I'm gonna")

Sounds like African American English to me.
I'mma = I'm going to...
