LA's underground hip-hop act Jurassic 5 brought tunefulness and fun back to '90s hip-hop. Chali 2na, one of the founders of that group, talks with Kurt about his new solo album and his work as a visual artist. 2na says that writing lyrics is a lot like painting: "I need to see them. I need them to be - beautiful in a way."
I really enjoyed the show yesterday. You mentioned a cd that Chali made with rap for kids, but I can't seem to find it. Any suggestions? I'd love to buy a few copies. Many thanks for a great show all around!
Thanks for a great show this past weekend. I enjoyed each and every part of it. Chali 2na mentioned a cd he made with rap for kids. I'd love to know how/where to purchase a few copies, but I can't find it on amazon or bn.com. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks again!
