I usually compare Brother Ali to Roy Halladay (Toronto Blue Jays pitcher, arguably best pitcher in baseball). Roy is [one of] the best at what he does, but doesn’t really get the credit for it as...* Summary only. Visit the site for full article!

There's nothing really new in this post; mostly a reminder to get your dollars (or plastic) out and support Brother Ali, Rhymesayers, and good fucking music. After a week of listening, US is easily one of the best albums of the year. Do yourself a favor and cop it tomorrow ...

New music from the midwest's own Brother Ali. The talented Ali was born Jason Newman in 1977 in Madison Wisconsin. Ali has as host of great records. His latest is Us. Ali and producer Ant set to release the album this month. The album was originally titled Street Preacher but later changed to Us. Ali, his DJ BK-One, and fellow Rhymesayers crew members Toki Wright and Evidence will all be tourin...

Two new tracks featuring the great brother were released this week. The first one is an official leak off of BK-One's upcoming album Radio Do Canibal. BK is Brother Ali's tour DJ and a really chill dude that I've had the privilege of meeting. He's been priming fans for this album with little lessons as to its influences via twitter and facebook, so be sure to check those out to help add a deepe...

Say hello to one of hip-hop's best albums of the past 10 years. Brother Ali and Ant have done it again.A message to all rappers and artists in general in 2009, courtesy of the Beatnuts: "Watch out now!" Brother Ali, you bad mufucka, you have done it again. But should this come as a shock? Each and every album or EP he releases is, at the very least, good, if not great. With six previous efforts...

Brother Ali - Us - Album Review ""If you know me, you know I love my family, love my God," proclaims Minneapolis MC Brother Ali at the top of his third album. If you didn't know that, Ali makes sure you do by the end of "Us," on which he holds forth on his Muslim faith, [...]

Brother Ali's new album Us might be the realest album I've heard in years. The new video "Us" isn't close to the best song on the album, which is incredible. Most this album is not for party bumping, as Ali disects topics about crack, rape, and slavery. True to his character, one of the best storytellers in hip hop today, Ali also retains his rapping flare on tracks like "The Preacher," and "Ba...

Track Themes:Brother Ali - Truth Is (from The Undisputed Truth)Nice-ass work if you can get it. Spending every waking hour thinking up similes like an ancient poet in the days of yore.* That, to my mind, is the workaday world of your common or garden rap artist. When they aren't sexing freaks or being shot nine times, you understand.Where the ancient poet and the rapper differ is in their appl...

After a few days of calmness the shows really start to pick up around the area. Tonight in DC The Subjects play the Red and the Black while Fredrik, Meredith Bragg, and Pree play an awesome show at DC9. Also in DC is a sweet hip hop show with Brother Ali, BK One, Toki Wright, [...]

The first taste of Brother Ali’s new album Us has hit the web in video format. The song, titled “Us” (for now, at least) features Ali over a beat that’s even down-tempo for him, but fear not, it only makes the track more more powerful. He kills it and provides plenty of food for thought [...]

Life is funny when you really think about it. Here I am 33 years old, and my mother still hides an Easter basket for me. This weekend I went to my parents house, and like sands through the hourglass, I found myself searching for my basket of goodies. As I have gotten older, not a lot of effort has been put into actually hiding it, so finding it took no time at all. Among the candy and marshmal...
