Brother Ali's last album, the critically acclaimed, The Undisputed Truth, was a landmark in hip-hop, an album that carried weight equally with critics and fans alike, an album of bold statements and bolder beats, politically and socially aware without being preachy. His new album, Us (Rhymesayers Entertainment), is a progression that will make Brother Ali one of the most enduring figures in hip-hop; while still aware, Ali has turned his gaze inward, and started examining the human condition from the outside in. A profound personal glimpse into a vulnerability seldom seen or heard in music, Us touches on the strengths and flaws of the human condition, exploring drug abuse, divorce, homophobia and many more topics that most people are scared to touch in their own lives, much less on an album for the world to see.
As with previous endeavors, the beats here are courtesy of Ant, whose production work seems to be getting more soulful and lush by the minute. The guest appearances only accentuate Brother Ali's strengths, with Chuck D, Freeway, Joell Ortiz and Stokley Williams of Mint Condition making strong appearances.
Hey man i know your probably gettin a ton of messages and people probably say this all the time but i want you to know you really inspire me to continue with my music. I’m in a band and sing and play guitar and your a huge idol of mine. Your passion for music is jaw dropping and you are someone i truly respect entirely. Thank you for everything you have done. – Keenan Humphries

I go to a project based school and not long ago I did a project on you. See, I was going to your show at the What’s Up Lounge for the Fresh Air Tour (which was bomb by the way) and I wanted to seize the opertunity to understand you and your music a little more. Point is, I tried to make contact with you so I could learn from you vs. internet sources n shit. I wasn’t able to and I really wish I could’ve so I could know my project did you justice. If I ever expanded on that project and started it again what would you think about having some kind of conversation?
ps. Very much respect &l ove

I am now going to school in Montana after growing up in the Twin Cities. So, I was just wondering what you like most about Minnesota or the Twin Cities??
PS loved your interview on the Current a bit ago
at fifth element on black friday i witnessed you eat 4 cookies at one time with no crumbs while still carrying on a conversation. just wanted to send the vast amount of respect i have for that your way
I’m the dude from Eugene who came up and cheered you for speaking out against homophobia. From what you’ve experienced, what do you think gay fans of hip-hop can do to become a visible voice in the community?
