Kali, a young rapper from Georgia born in 2000, has been drawing attention.

She released mixtapes in 2021 and 2022 and was selected for XXL’s influential “Freshman Class 2022,” making her a hot name to watch.

Her track “Area Codes,” released in April 2023, went viral and seems to have skyrocketed her profile.

Hip-hop fans may have noticed that she cleverly references the lyrics of Ludacris’s classic 2001 track “Area Codes,” a nice touch.

It’s also very much in line with today’s mainstream trend of Gen Z rappers and R&B singers rediscovering and reinterpreting late-’90s to early-’00s hip-hop and R&B in their own way.
