Ali (born Ali Jones on July 13, 1971) is an American Hip-Hop artist. He is responsible for forming the St. Louis rap group known as the St. Lunatics, which also include Kyjuan, Murphy Lee, Nelly, and Nelly's then-incarcerated brother, City Spud.
Ali convinced Nelly, who is the most popular member of the group to go solo, and bring the group out. Since then Ali has made guest appearances on all of Nelly's albums except his 2004 album, Suit. He has also appeared on both of the St. Lunatics' albums, and released a solo-album, Heavy Starch in 2002.
Ali is also the president of Nelly's record label, Derrty Entertainment.
After collaborating with Big Gipp of the Dungeon Family's Goodie Mob, the two have combined forces and working on an album together. Ali & Gipp's album is called Kinfolk and has been pushed back over two years. It was released on August 14, 2007.
On October 14, 2006 Ali was pulled over in Hazelwood, Missouri for driving with an expired license and tags. Ali was allegedly tasered with a 50,000 volt taser gun nearly 50 times. Ali also claimed that the arresting officer made racist remarks against him, and threatened to kill him. Ali was charged with resisting arrest, third degree assault on a police officer, and property damage to a police car. Ali also stated that he will file for a restraining order stemming from the police officer's alleged death threats.
