Chali 2na
You realize how many music fans grumbled before about rappers that attempt to be complicated at the expense of their lyrics? Certainly not Chali 2na. He never misses an opportunity to include an external or internal rhyming with multisyllables, and all of his songs are mature and well-written. His gravelly voice is also very pleasing.
Chali 2na is the sound of expertise. There is no area for improvement. The main issue is that he prefers to write more upbeat tunes (which may get repetitive) and seeks to write pop singles. It's one of the same issues I'm having with Big Pun, earning a lot of money with corny pop tunes. Regardless, Chali is the pinnacle of sophistication in the rap game.
He is a member of Jurassic 5 as well as Ozomatli. His stage name is derived from the deep-voiced cartoon StarKist Tuna mascot. While he is well-known in the rap industry, many became acquainted with him via a partnership with Linkin Park.
