ali a.k.a "the worlds greatest"

Ali amazes crowds of all races, and nationalities, as he relentlessly strives not be categorized into one genre of poetry. His debut album “Signature Pieces” took the poetry world by storm, and while to hear him on disc is one thing, to see him perform live is an experience to behold His range of topics and spectacular stage presence leaves audiences astonished. Many people have heard poetry, but his clever word play brings you to the point you feel you lived the lives of the characters in his work.
