Something about Brother Ali has left a taste of the golden era in my ears. And I always enjoy it when i can taste things in my ears. Let me clarify; the simplicity in his production mixed with raw passion driven lyrics sounds like he could belnd right in the with EPMD and Rakim. Anyone that saw him on tour with a ten piece band along side ghostface and rakim knows his capabilities. His newest release, "The Truth Is Here" EP is a solid set of songs that might have been passed over for the final cut of "Undisputed Truth". I feel a few could have made it. Overall, Brother Ali continues to capture listeners covering everything from his daily habits on tour to Islam and more. If you haven't bothered tuning into the "Champion Sound" at this point in your hip-hop fandom, its about time you see what this Rhymesayer is all about.
