Chali 2na ft. House of Vibes - A live hip hop concert

Chali 2na, renowned for his roles in Jurassic 5 and Ozomatli, graces the Miners Foundry stage on Thursday. With his distinctive deep baritone voice, Chali 2na, born Charles Stewart Jr., spearheaded the West Coast underground favorite Jurassic 5, rising as its prominent figure.

Their ensemble of visionary producers, versatile lyricists, and virtuoso musicians crafts genre-defying live performances that seamlessly journey through rock, reggae, jazz, hip-hop, and R&B, captivating audiences with daring, high-energy creations.

Originally from southside Chicago, Chali 2na found refuge from drugs and gang life in graffiti and music. He relocated to Los Angeles in his mid-teens, affiliating himself with the rap collective the Unity Committee, featuring Cut Chemist and Marc 7even. Before Jurassic 5’s success, Chali 2na co-founded Ozomatli, blending worldbeat, rock, hip-hop, and Latin dance/funk in their music.

Chali 2na’s impact soared with Ozomatli’s 1998 self-titled album and Jurassic 5’s acclaimed “Quality Control” (2000), setting benchmarks in West Coast hip-hop and Latin funk. As a sought-after collaborator, he featured on tracks for Swollen Members, Linkin Park, Blackalicious, among others. His solo career, marked by the “Fish Market” mixtapes in 2004, culminated in the release of his debut solo album, “Fish Outta Water,” in 2009 on the Defcon label. Continuing his musical journey, he has extensively toured the globe with his band, the House Of Vibe.
