Zulfiqar Ali Chaudhry was born and raised in Munich, but he never strays from his Pakistani roots. The rapper known as Ali As makes frequent references to his background in his lyrics, bringing stories of struggle and identity to the German charts and racking up tens of millions of streams views in the process. He finds room to inspire and uplift—see his collaboration with Kollegah, the party anthem “Euphoria”—as well as extol the virtues of his lavish, hard-won lifestyle with MoTrip on “Stempel im Pass” and the Summer Cem hook-up “LAX”.
