Chali 2Na The Fishmarket

• Words: Pete Babb

• XLR8R Rating: /10

When you‘re one of four MCs in a group and people think the true stars are the two DJs, it‘s easy to get lost in the shuffle. But Jurassic 5‘s Chali 2na ain‘t havin‘ that-and that‘s good because he‘s far too dope to get lost in the sauce. First off: This is not an official album per se, but a mixtape of Chali‘s guest appearances with a couple new joints. That‘s all good, though, because Chali‘s plentiful vocal talents and underappreciated versatility get their proper shine. If he‘s trying to whet people‘s appetites for a proper 2na full-length, mission accomplished; this CD will have you fishing for Chali‘s funk.
