The Dignitaries

The Dignitaries are a Hip Hop Duo based out of Buffalo, New York. The duo consist of childhood friends, Illy Ali and Anthymonthetrack. They are also the creative directors behind "Native Alien" which is a grassroots brand hosting a platform advocating unique music production, while creating and celebrating culture. 

The two have been working together for over a decade, despite the seemingly sudden creation of their new group and label venture. They began as members of a larger local hip hop group, together making a series of "Mixtape-Albums", producing for numerous upcoming indie artist and industry veterans alike, and performing on the college circuit.  

"We cater to those who value lyrical content, production, and appreciate authenticity", said rapper Illy Ali, "Our plan is to share our passion with fellow music-lovers by releasing premier content consistently. Starting with our debut project, Chess Not Checkers". 

It's release served as the official launch of the Native Alien label in November of 2017. The album is available on all major streaming sites including iTunes, Apple Music, Tidal, and Spotify. Their second project, Sandwich Bag Season, was recently released and has been gaining in popularity on SoundCloud, Spinrilla, and My Mixtapez. 

The Dignitaries have been grinding behind the scences for a long time and are eager to collaborate with likeminded artist whose shared goal is to positively impact Hip-hop culture. As a result, Anthymonthetrack's production has been increasingly sought after and can be heard accompanying several artist including Ransom, Uncle Murda, Cassidy, Redpill Cambatta, and AA Rashid.
