Here's some more info on Chali
Bearing an identifiably deep baritone voice, Chali 2na became the unofficial point man for West Coast underground favorite Jurassic 5. Before Jurassic 5 fully took off, Chali 2na and Cut Chemist also helped found the band Ozomatli, whose music was a fusion of worldbeat, rock, hip-hop, and Latin dance/funk. As part of two critically acclaimed ensembles, Chali 2na sent waves in the music world with each of their debuts; Jurassic 5's major-label debut, Quality Control (2000), has been deemed a benchmark for alternative West Coast hip-hop. Chali emerged as J5's most popular member and was frequently tapped for guest appearances on many other artists' material over the years, like that of Swollen Members, Galactic, Blackalicious, Kardinal Offishal, and Roots Manuva.
