[CHALI 2NA] Chali 2na from the legendary Los Angeles Hip Hop crew Jurassic 5 is heading to Sydney on May 5th!!

MC. Musician. Actor. Painter. Renaissance Man & living, hip hop legend!

Supported by Scratches Records familiar P.Smurf & Chris Munky + local boss lady Jannah Beth + more T.B.A

From his days growing up on the hardscrabble streets of Chicago’s south side, to his subsequent explosion onto Los Angeles’ burgeoning hip-hop scene, to his tenure as MC for seminal hip-hop group Jurassic 5, and his front-man duties for Grammy Award Winners, Ozomatli; Chali 2na epitomises the portrait of a 21st century artist.

His collaborations with the likes of the Hilltop Hoods, Black Eyed Peas, Raphael Saadiq, Linkin Park, Damien & Stephen Marley, Anthony Hamilton, Beenie Man and Mos Def on his Fish Outta Water and Mixtape Series have ensured that, with his unmistakable, beloved baritone, Chali 2na has firmly established himself as one of the most distinctive, charismatic personalities not just in hip-hop, but across all genres of music and art.

Come down and celebrate Hip Hop's 50th Birthday, with one of the best to ever bless the MIC!!

Presented by Banana Bombs Records, Scratches Records and Trent Slingshot.
