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.
I think you should bring us all as your guest, Its cold right now LOL

Very inspiring chat last night…I hate it how people get on your ustream to bring attention to themselves when some of US are trying to ask good questions…Can’t wait to hear what you are going to hit us with next, should be amazing material as usual, since you put in some much time and effort in your music.
Keep on doing what you do for as long as you want to do it….We will always listen to the BROTHER!!!
Keep on keeping it real
Much Respect & Love
