The group, consisting of Elly, Zuhaili, Kamal, Ally, Syahmi, and Faridz, earned a collective prize money of RM25,000. Their track, Baju Yang Baru, released on October 17 last year, struck a chord with its urban jazz and retro-inspired sound, earning them high praise from the professional judging panel. The six-member group showcased their talent once again, solidifying their dominance at the sixth edition of the ALI awards. Other notable winners included Sethpoll, who took home the Best Rock Song award for Gelandangan Mewah, and Kelantan-based group WRGA, who claimed Best Hip Hop Song with their track GKG (Gomo Kelate Gomo), both receiving RM5,000 each. The competition was intense, featuring 15 finalists out of 590 entries, with ALI 2025 supported by the Ministry of Youth and Sports through Rakan Muda (Rakan Muzik Presents).",
