Welcome back home Chi Ali.

Chi-Ali Griffith (born May 27, 1976, in The Bronx, New York) professionally known as Chi-Ali, is an American rapper, best known musically for his album The Fabulous Chi-Ali, which he recorded at the age of 14. The Fabulous Chi-Ali is the first and only album by rapper Chi-Ali, a member of the Native Tongues.

It was released on March 24, 1992, on Relativity Records and was produced by The Beatnuts and Black Sheep's Mista Lawnge. The album managed to make it to #189 on the Billboard 200 and #8 on the Top Heatseekers and also produced three singles that made it to the Hot Rap Singles chart, "Age Ain't Nothin' But a #" (#6), "Roadrunner" (#9) and "Funky Lemonade" (#19).

Chi first made his first appearance as Jeff on various B-Sides of singles from De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising. He reappeared as Chi-Ali two years later on Black Sheep's debut album A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing on "Pass the 40," a posse cut about drinking 40s, rocking women, and ripping the mic. Chi Ali at the time was a member of the Native Tongues and also had connections with the Legion family, along with Showbiz and AG.

Soon after "Pass the 40," Chi released his first solo single "Age Ain't Nothing But a #," which was a moderate hit. It was popular on urban radio stations, and the video got good rotation on Yo! MTV Raps and Rap City. The album in which the song was featured was released shortly thereafter, which yielded two other singles, "Roadrunner" and "Funky Lemonade," which were both remixed and rerecorded, making them different than their album versions. They featured Chi with a slightly more mature voice. It received mixed reviews.

Chi Ali seemingly disappeared from the hip hop world until the late 1990s, when he appeared on Dres's solo album Sure Shot Redemption. The album got little press and mixed, though overall good reviews.

On January 14, 2000, Griffith shot and killed Sean Raymond, in The Bronx, New York. At the time, Griffith was dating Raymond's sister. He was charged with first degree manslaughter, as well as various lesser charges. An extensive manhunt resulted, with Griffith twice being featured on the TV program America's Most Wanted. He was apprehended on March 5, 2001, and was subsequently convicted of the killing. He served a 12-year sentence at Sing Sing Correctional Facility, where he was prisoner number 04A0267. Chi Ali has since been released from Prison. Wikipedia. Like our page on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Bootleggaz.Wreckordz

For real. It's not like the guy he killed was a saint himself. Not that he deserved to die, but the guy was a former convict and a drug dealer himself.

All of this "he needs to get out of jail" shit? You people do realize he killed a man for no reason but stupidity? His own words. So honestly he did less time than he should. Stop posting that stupid shit when someone serves time for something they did. It shows how braind dead humans are as a entity.
