Music today is filled with so many recycled acts that it is almost impossible to point out true talent when it is being presented to the masses. It’s almost like a laundry cycle with the music that is being played and highly promoted as the "it thing". Wash, rinse, repeat; that’s all you get, ESPECIALLY in Hip-Hop!! Maybe this is why so many people are declaring its demise. As Kanye West once proclaimed, Diamonds are forever. Now prepare yourself for a Diamond in the rough that’s about to get his shine in both the industry and the world.
With a constantly evolving sound in both production and rapping capability, it is a no-brainer that this artist is great, Ali The Great. Born on July 20, 1987, his father named him after one of the greatest boxers of all time, Muhamed Ali. The Islamic definition of the name Ali is greatness, which is why a former co-worker coined ATG with his name. This Miami native has been getting acquainted with his true love since his early childhood through music classes and the works of early Hip-Hop legends such as Run DMC. With influence from his 2nd grade music teacher, Mr. Allen, Ali soon developed a strong interest in the many elements of music and its production. After years of constant learning, development and strong sources of inspiration stemming from the likes of Timbaland, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre and others, this young hopeful was certain that his future laid in the hands of the main thing his life has revolved around; music.
From that moment on, ATG (as he is best known as) set out to make music that represented both his personality and the definition of his birth name. Whether it’s producing a track or ripping it, his mind is set on ending all the misconceptions that have been given to southern talent. Currently ATG is in the process of recording his debut album entitled "The Feature Presentation," consisting of all original tracks and should be dropping around September. He is also collaborating with fellow B.2.Entertainment artists on their upcoming projects.
