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.
The chat isn’t working for me but I’m glad to be here listening
I wanted to know if Ali pays much attention to economic issues like the stimulus, health reform, financial regulation, tax policy, and the like. I think the main reason the republicans are able to make a comeback is that pres Obama didn’t push an aggressive enough agenda to build a more people-oriented economy.
Hmmm… How come we can’t check out last nights sit down?

Dear Brother Ali,
There is a section in this book about you.

Do you struggle with keeping true to your faith in a society that’s controlled mostly by a major faith that shuns you.
Brother Ali i love you. I was born muslim but raised with a confused mom and blinded christians but i got back on my deen when i was 12 and visited iran. I came back to the states a proud muslim. Your music reminds me of me. It reminds me of us. I also do islamic hiphop. I aint signed or nothin. But if you checked me out and left a comment i would be soo happy! You can google search or youtube search “swift m productions” but my best song is “swift m gladiator” god bless my brother forever love. Allah hafiz
I just wanted to tell you that I saw you in Paris. In fact I was too stoned to tell you how I realy love yours songs. When I listen to you when I go to work, it’s like a gift you give to me and I wanted to thank you for that joy you provoke to me. Thanks a lot and I hope next time I ‘ll see you, I will have the courage to speak to you.
