Against The Current : CHALI 2NA

With his distinctive and widely beloved baritone voice, Chali 2na has established himself not only as one of hip-hop's preeminent and charismatic personalities, but has also garnered renowned praise as a highly respected artist across a myriad of mediums. 

Today, he has announced his latest project, Against The Current, a 5 EP installment that will be released throughout 2012.  Breathing new life into his musical history, the project's sound is heavily influenced by his history; from the blues music he was raised on and the hip-hop he produced as a member of Jurassic 5, to the urban-Latin music he created with Ozomatli and his love for performing live. Each EP will be a fusion of these experiences, and also include Chali's trademark spitfire rhymes. A trailer for Against The Current, featuring snippets from the project's first single and title-track, has been released today, and can be viewed here.





Fans can catch a preview of Against The Current this winter as Chali will be hitting the road for a nationwide tour (full routing below). Kicking off February 9th in Oakland, CA, the tour will encompass nearly 30 dates before wrapping in Austin, TX for a series of showcases at this years' SXSW Music and Film Conference.

Q. When is a House not on land and not on water?



A. When it's on fire!


House Of Vibe mos def set the roof ablaze with fierce funk, rock & reggae, jazz, hip-hop and r&b. A night of some of the Westside's best players and rappers jam and celebrate music all night long!

Playing everything from Gregory Isaacs to Harbie Hancock to Led Zeppelin, they keep the styles varied and feature some of the dopest local rappers currently working including Deploi, Jon Swift, Freewill and Chali 2na - formerly of Jurassic 5 has even been known to drop by and throw down. Members of Freestyle Fellowship and De La Soul have even been known to come down and spit.
