It's hard to sum up the soul in Brother Ali's album in a short little review, so I'll just save my words, and let you find out for yourself. He wrestles with government, family, and hiphop as so many have before, but when Ali puts it on top of Ant's top-notch production, something clicks and makes for unbelievably good music.

Its starting to seem like I'm just sticking to Rhymesayers, so after this post, ill branch out for a while. But this has to be mentioned. Us, by the albino Brother Ali, is probably one of my top 5 favorite albums. He picked up right where he left off with the Undisputed Truth, with songs all over the map. He graces topics from slavery to apartments, and does so in a way where everyone can feel the pain or love in his songs.
