Notes of a Native Son

From HHC #37 - February 1992 - Scan courtesy of Repo136 (Ageing B-Boy Unites)

Documentary : The Fabulous Chi-Ali

"The Fabulous Chi-Ali", official selection to the 19th annual Beverly Hills Film Festival taking place April 3-7th at the world famous Chinese Theater in LA. Directed by Thomas Colabraro and starring Chi Ali, Fat Joe, Black Rob, Kool DJ Red Alert, Posdnuos, Trugoy The Dove, Buckwild, Lord Finesse, Showbiz, Psycho Les, Dres, Mysonne, Sadat X... and more . 

"In the greatest era of hip hop, a 10 year old prodigal son named Chi-Ali was chosen to become the greatest artist hip hop has ever seen. As fame, money and pressure took over, he found himself turning to the streets and left with a decision that would forever change his life, and alter the history of hip hop." - Thomas Colabraro

Chi-Ali - Let The Horns Blow / Funky Lemonade - 1992

12" - 1992 - Relativity  

3rd single released by the Fabulous Chi-Ali in 1992. The wax is pretty cheap and contains the excellent remix version of "Funky Lemonade" produced by the Beatnuts. No doubt the B-Side wins for this 12", the production done by the Queens based duo is mad dope. It contains samples of "Down Here on the Ground" performed by Grant Green and "Submission" performed by Tyrone Washington.

On the A-side, you can listen to "Let The Horns Blow" which is also produced by the Beatnuts and featuring Dres, Phife Dawg and Trugoy The Dove. This version is a little bit different from the original version ... it is without Fashion's verse and contains Chi-Ali's new verse.

Fokis - Audio Crack feat Skyzoo & Chi-Ali / 52 Pick Up - 7"

7" - 2018 - Origu 

"For Number 008 Origu releases two more bangers from the Loyalty Digital Corp. camp. Off his album 'Underground With Commercial Appeal', Fokis brings you 'Audio Crack' featuring Skyzoo and Chi-Ali, plus the previously unreleased '52 Pick Up'. Fokis managed to create quite a line-up for his releases on his label, and Skyzoo and Chi-Ali are just big names he put on his album. 

Eversince his official debut 'Cloud 9' in 2006 Skyzoo is a well-known figure in the hiphop game. Chi-Ali is making his first appearance on vinyl since 1992, when he was a teenager and released the album 'The Fabolous Chi-Ali' with the help of The Beatnust, Black Sheep, De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest." - Origu
