Ali is not only an Artist/Songwriter of a group titled: "A.P.E." (which is short for; "Applied Pressure Entertainment") but he is also this groups founder as well. He's taken music very serious for two years now and has been gifted by his Heavenly Father with the ability to bless the mic with words that will make you move. As a musician, he has a way of showing his support to others artists and their passions for the craft of their choosing. He takes his time to not only share and pubblicate his own music but also for each artist of his group, taking on the role of this group's publicis as well as for other artist outside the A.P.E Family that he believes in wholeheartedly.
His passion of music came from being born into a musically inclined family. His father, "Bigg Scott" Of; "7XL Productions"; who has helped over 1,000 artists within 3 years reach their level of greatness, assisted these artist in getting featured on reputable website such as; World Star Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop Overload, & even managed to work with an even higher caliber artists such as; "Wise Intelligent", of the famous ā90s group: āPoor Righteous Teachers,ā "Kilo", from the famous music group; āCrucial Conflict,ā the Chicago rap legends āDo Or Die,ā and even upcoming artist who has a feature with Gucci Mane, earning them radio AirPlay for his hit song; āTrap Napā, featuring a Maan whom also goes by the name of; āMello The Guddaman.ā Ali found himself writing his own lyrics at the age of 18, randomly joking about as he composed light hearted material until others began to gravitate to his sound, showing him support in numbers. In 2017, even on a torn ACL, dislocated knee, and torn Achilles, all within his right leg, by the grace of God, he walked within 2 months with no surgery. Through faith and his higher power, he received his first show through Afton Show at the Emerson Theater In Downtown Indianapolis, IN. He then received shows through the theater, hosting his own shows at the venue as well with his affiliates; a crew of Men who helped him with the takeover of a bar in Portage, IN On October 21st of 2017. The performance was excellent and hosting at āOn The Roxx.ā Showcase was even better!
Through Afton shows, he received 3 free shows in which to perform within 4 months of his first and was also able to perform at a former Chicago bar in his hometown called: āStar Barā at age 20. His last performance of 2017 was with "Nate Gramz", a Maan who is also from the west Chicago area and has a big movement going on right now at another venue called: āThe Forgeā, a place where big names such as; Lil Durk, G Herbo, Lil Bibby, King Louie, Lud Foe, & many more!
These events gave him a confidence he needed, knowing that his favorite artist have performed in these same places made him feel as though his dream were finally transpiring to a reality. Now at the age of 21, he currently has 2 Projects in the works as of today, an EP & a mixtape, both posted on reputable music sites like; Datpiff & YouTube by the names; āNo Way Out The EPā (feature on Datpiff) and āReady Or Not The Mixtapeā (YouTube and SoundCloud). He has 3 new projects coming up for the year of 2019 & 2020 and has new hits dropping back to back each time he promotes their release.
Having shows through Afton that he is later going to perform later this year, summertime is going to be a real debut moment for the young artist whom is humbly ready to continue his rise to success. He never glorify himself, yet always gave glory to his Heavenly Father and is unashamed to speak his testimony about the trials and tribulation of his life, ups and downs which helped him understand that the lifestyle of music was never something he he chose, but that the calling for the art of music, chose him...
