Andrell D. Rogers (born May 1, 1973), better known as Kilo Ali, formerly Kilo, is an American rapper from Atlanta, Georgia.[1] Kilo Ali recorded mainly bass music (described more closely to Miami bass style music), but also hip-hop tracks with a less distinctive Southern flavor. His most well known singles include "Show Me Love",[2] "Baby Baby",[3] and "Love In Ya Mouth".
As Kilo Ali, he released Organized Bass in 1997 on Interscope,[4] with featured artists including George Clinton, Cee-Lo of Goodie Mob, Big Boi of OutKast, and JT Money. In 2011, Ali was released from prison after serving six years of a 15-year sentence for arson.[5] [6] In June 2021, Ali sued rapper NLE Choppa for copyright infringement for unauthorized use of his 1997 song, "Love In Ya Mouth".[7]
Ali’s track "America Has a Problem (Cocaine)" was sampled on Beyoncé’s 2023 single "America Has a Problem" from her Grammy Award winning 2022 album, Renaissance.[8]
