Last year saw the release of Tali’s project ‘Top 0pp,’ which includes popular songs “Dead Man!” and the title track, “Top Opp.”
With ‘Murder Rate Music,’ Tali is declaring himself to be the leader of Philly’s new drill wave. Through his music, he transcends his life circumstances and highlights his creativity. “I’m very outspoken, but I’m a very intelligent individual,” he previously told All Hip Hop. “I’m probably misunderstood until you really get around me and talk to me. Because you’ll see, I act a whole different way from what I’m perceived as on the internet.”
