Bio/Notes: Gripping vocals, shredding lyrics, relevant and innovative sound threading together the influences of the past with the nuances of today is the only way to describe this self-titled release on On Da Rize Entertainment by the artist, K.A.L.I. (Knowledge Always Lives Inside)
Growing up in an era when Hip Hop was at its peak K.A.L.I., at the tender age of eleven, felt compelled to try his hand at rapping, making it more than just rhythmic artistic poems, but becoming Hip Hop. Performing in several talent shows and other events he quickly made a name for himself. By the time he was seventeen this California native became a background dancer for Grammy Award winner and Gospel pioneer Kirk Franklin and landed a 65 city tour sharing the stage with the likes of Yolanda Adams, Fred Hammond, CeCe Winans, Tonex, and several other A-list Gospel Artists in the Industry. The exposure alone landed him an appearance with Stevie Wonder for The Special Olympics, where he performed on stage to over fifty thousand people from all over the world; and television appearances on The Grammys, The Soul Train Music Awards, The Image Awards, The Stellar Awards, and other network television shows.
With thick layers of instrumentation and a strong hip hop beat, fronted by K.A.L.I.’s trademark smooth, yet bold voice and a tender ear for the youth, K.A.L.I. is able to combine the relevance of relationships with the reality of the streets. All while crafting a tightly produced, hook-laden hip hop album appealing to party goers, rhythm and blues, and “just plain good music” fans alike
