Jurassic 5's notorious Chali 2na heads to the UK in the new year for select dates.

Revered for his deep baritone voice, the man who swapped Chiacago's south side to storm the LA hip hop scene, is one of the most recognised hip hop personalities on the planet.

Spitting with indomitable flow and astute lyricism, Chali 2na's solo work (listen to the prolific 'Comin Thru' above) has blossomed ever since his Fish Market mixtapes dropped in 2004.

His latest works arrived via the Bloodshot Fisheye - Against The Current EP.3, part of a three part series that'll flood the joint with a helping hand from some of his seminal classics.

UK dates below:

Manchester - Band On The Wall, Saturday 16th January

Brighton - The Haunt, Tuesday 19th January

Leeds - The Wardrobe, Thursday 21st January

Glasgow - Audio, Saturday 23rd January

Bristol - Fleece, Sunday 24th January
