With his unmistakable baritone voice and 6-and-a-half foot charm, Chali 2na has established himself as one of hip-hop's preeminent and charismatic personalities, and has also garnered renowned praise as a visual artist across a wide spectrum of mediums. Most known for his association with the music groups Jurassic 5 and Ozomatli, Chali released his debut solo album "Fish Outta Water" in 2009. Since then, he has been touring the world with his 3-piece live band know as the House Of Vibe. Breathing new life into his musical past, he recently announced "Against The Current”, a music and art project that combines a series of genre bending EPs with a coffee table book feature original art and photography from Chali himself. Chali relocated from Chicago to LA in the early 80’s when he was entering his teens and was instantly engulfed by the hip hop and graffiti movements. As his music career began to flourish, his artistic talents also expanded past the walls of city streets and onto canvas. Now, as Chali’s collection continues to grow he is finding unique ways to share his visual art with the World, and demand for it is snowballing. Last year, Chali 2na reunited with the LA Hip Hop collective, Jurassic 5 that he co-founded, for a long run of Festival appearances and a World Tour that began with Coachella in April and continues thru today.
