Zhali is back with a potent new visual that showcases his ability to perform and collaborate alongside other people. The mini-movie takes place in the middle of what seems to be an empty field with his homies, a dope pickup truck, some flames, and even more fire records. The melodic bar spitter knows how to blend his voice with silky smooth beats and build a mood that will make any playlist feel like home. The JAHSH-featured record shows the two rising stars' promise in music and love for high fashion. Zhali has been featured in AllHipHop, Lyrical Lemonade, The Source, and more.
Before Zhali became an artist with delectable deliveries, he was just a kid from Toronto with an equal love for Eminem bars and Drake songs. Zhali was born in Tehran, Iran, but after five years, he moved to Dubai, UAE, until his pre-teen years. After moving to Toronto, Zhali realized that music was more than a hobby. As a recent 2021 Bachelor of Commerce graduate from Ryerson University, it took a lot of work for Zhali to juggle school and music. His parents were still determining if Zhali should pursue music seriously and instead wanted him to focus on his education, even though they always recognized his talents as an artist.
Zhali's favorite artists (The Weeknd, PARTYNEXTDOOR) taught him melody. Today, that melody is the 25-year-old's gift and a catalyst for his embryonic hip-hop success. To hear the melodic rapper's early succession of rap songs is to experience aqua flows and stark hooks as addictive as Tik Tok's "For You" page. A closer listen offers the biography of a kid who survived toxicity and the consequences that followed. The release of his new video, "EARLY MORNING," featuring JAHSH, portrays the sacrifices made to put himself in a good position by cutting off toxic people in his life, allowing him to be at his full potential. The notable featured artist also has tracks with underground NYC rappers like FourFive and is currently managed by producing mogul Wondagurl. Patience is vital to Zhali's consistency in pursuing his music career, which is emphasized creatively in this song. Watch the cinematic visual below.
