Synopsis

Product Description

With over 60,000 units sold of his 2007 critically acclaimed album The Undisputed Truth, Brother Ali returns with Us. As with his previous releases, Ali¹s musical landscape has been created by Atmosphere beatsmith, Ant. Staying true to their soul and blues influence they¹ve become known for, Us takes on a more lush and dense sonic quality with the duo's incorporation of live instrumentation. With guest appearances by Chuck D, Freeway, Joell Ortiz and Stokley Williams of Mint Condition, Brother Ali and Ant have once again crafted a beautifully intelligent and entertaining album for all of Us.

CD Reviews

Representing the Real....

M. R. Kleinschmidt | Madison, WI | 09/23/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I will say it again and again.... Brother Ali is in his own realm of MC'ing. His first album "Shadows of the Sun" shows his abilities as an MC with his smooth poetic flows. The "Undisputed Truth", Ali's sophmore album boasted his lyrical abilities once again but it also reflected his maturity as an MC.

"US" is an album that blew me away. He is a "Warrior for Peace" or a "Soldier for Unity" and he describes that in his songs on this album whether it be about slavery, rape, homosexuality or growing up as a kid. He is able to paint the picture so well that it sends me shivers. I don't care what the VMA's said, this by far is the best album to come out this year and I challenge you to listen to any other album this year and try to compare it to Ali. Hip-Hop heads want the "real", they want the "truth" and this provides it. This is something that Hip-Hop is missing too much of these days. Please, please, please pick up this album. It seems many people have been having problems with the digital album online so go out to the store and pick it up..

This is the Midwest (MPLS) representing right here."
