Ali is not only an Artist/Songwriter of a group titled: "A.P.E." (which is short for; "Applied Pressure Entertainment") but he is also this group's founder as well. He's taken music very seriously for two years now and has been gifted by his Heavenly Father with the ability to bless the mic with words that will make you move. As a musician, he has a way of showing his support to other artists and their passions for the craft of their choosing. He takes his time to not only share and publicize his own music but also for each artist of his group, taking on the role of this group's Publicis as well as for other artists outside the A.P.E Family that he believes in wholeheartedly.
His passion for music came from being born into a musically inclined family. His father, "Bigg Scott" Of; "7XL Productions"; who has helped over 1,000 artists within 3 years reach their level of greatness, assisted this artist in getting featured on a reputable website such as; World Star Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop Overload, & even managed to work with even higher caliber artists such as; "Wise Intelligent", of the famous ‘90s group: “Poor Righteous Teachers,” "Kilo", from the famous music group; “Crucial Conflict,” the Chicago rap legends “Do Or Die,” and even upcoming artist who has a feature with Gucci Mane, earning them radio AirPlay for his hit song; “Trap Nap”, featuring a Maan whom also goes by the name of; “Mello The Guddaman.” Ali found himself writing his own lyrics at the age of 18, randomly joking as he composed light-hearted material until others began to gravitate to his sound, showing him support in numbers. In 2017, even with a torn ACL, dislocated knee, and torn Achilles, all within his right leg, by the grace of God, he walked within 2 months with no surgery. Through faith and his higher power, he received his first show through Afton Show at the Emerson Theater In Downtown Indianapolis, IN. He then received shows through the theater, hosting his own shows at the venue as well with his affiliates; a crew of Men who helped him with the takeover of a bar in Portage, IN On October 21st of 2017. The performance was excellent and hosting at “On The Roxx.” The showcase was even better!
Through Afton shows, he received 3 free shows in which to perform within 4 months of his first and was also able to perform at a former Chicago bar in his hometown called: “Star Bar” at age 20. His last performance of 2017 was with "Nate Gramz", a Maan who is also from the west Chicago area and has a big movement going on right now at another venue called: “The Forge”, a place where big names such as; Lil Durk, G Herbo, Lil Bibby, King Louie, Lud Foe, & many more!

Having shown through Afton that he is later going to perform later this year, summertime is going to be a real debut moment for the young artist who is humbly ready to continue his rise to success. He never glorify himself, yet always gave glory to his Heavenly Father and is unashamed to speak his testimony about the trials and tribulations of his life, ups, and downs which helped him understand that the lifestyle of music was never something he chose, but that the calling for the art of music, chose him...
