Kali's had a landmark year with 2022. After the release of her highly acclaimed EP Toxic Chocolate, Kali was admitted into the XXL 2022 Freshman Class. This momentous, career-defining feat was supported by her thrilling freestyle and cypher performances streaming now. She continued her run with the release of the singles "FNF (Freestyle)" and "Wet" with each visual at over a combined 1M views via YouTube. Toxic Chocolate arrived earlier in 2022 amidst both popular and critical acclaim, with Hot New Hip Hop simply declaring her "Rap's Next 'It' Girl." The EP is highlighted by the incendiary singles, "UonU (Feat. Yung Bleu)" and "Standards," the latter of which had it's exclusive premiere on Apple Music's New Music Daily Radio with Zane Lowe. Kali then increased the power of Toxic Chocolate with the surprise addition of the fan favorite "Chainzzz (Feat. Muni Long)" as well as a revised sequence.
