I just found this interview with Chi-Ali, the shorty who made his first (and unfortunately last) album “The Fabulous Chi-Ali” at the age of 14. That was back in 1992. In this interview from 2008, he talks alot about how he grew up with hip hop and hanging around with the older rappers. He is currently serving a 14 year sentence for murder and the interview takes place in his correction facility.

Pt. 1

Pt. 2

Chi-Ali also featuring on this Black Sheep track (1:22). This little man sure could flow!

KÄRLEK OCH BEATS
The break up for break up artists!
Vi är tillbaks. 4 låtar för 2009. Om 2009. Och om hur allt började.
Det här är blandningen av det funkiga, det sockersöta, det självutlämnande, det råa och det vackra. Lite som kärlek. Lite som hiphop.
Som gamle Nas säger, One love!
