According to CBS News, AllHipHop.com & Wendy Williams,
incarcerated rapper Chi-Ali is pooling his resources
together in hopes of giving his younger cousins, Guns
& Glamour (a male and female twin rap group), a shot
at making it in hip-hop.
Chi-Ali has begun writing letters in behalf of his
cousins, Hollywood and Beloved, the rapper has already
penned letters to the likes to Diddy, DJ Red Alerts
and Big Tigger, and is expected to write to more of
his industry contacts over the next few months.
In 1998, the brother and sister duo started putting
together lyrics. And when Chi-Ali heard them, he
passed their CD on to Terry Ross of Noontime
Recordings/Capitol, who in turn, flew them to Atlanta
to work with the then unknown producer Jazze Pha.
Guns & Glamour recorded a number of songs with the
producer and ended up inking a deal with Noontime, but
ended up being shelved because Ross was unsure about
how to market a teenage group who used such explicit
lyrics.
Now, when was the last time you heard a male and
female rap group who are twins and the female raps
more gangster than the male? Well, that�s one of the
characteristics that Guns & Glamour expresses through
their music and lifestyles. Guns & Glamour is the sole
mixture of complete opposites with the same story to
tell---their life struggles.
The duo are currently putting the finishing touches on
their Divinaire Entertainment/Woodroq Records 2006
debut disc set, Both Sides To The Story.
Chi-Ali is currently behind bars for the shooting
death of Sean Raymond, his girlfriend's brother. The
rapper allegedly shot Raymond over $300 and a
collection of CDs.
After the killing, Ali fled from justice for nearly
two years. But after appearing on FOX's "America's
Most Wanted" twice, police received tips as to his
whereabouts, where he was captured and arrested.
In 1992, the rapper released his only solo album, The
Fabolous Chi-Ali, which spawned the hit single "Age
Ain't Nothin' But A Number." The single broke the top
ten on the Billboard music charts.
