It doesn't matter to Brother Ali that we still have his The Truth Is Here EP in heavy rotation, the brother man is dropping another LP on our boom bap asses. Even more exciting, besides the obvious elements (produced by ANT, songs about the human condition), is the guest spots: Stokley Williams of Mint Condition, Joell Ortiz, Freeway (and beard) and Chuck D. Somebody heard Ali's “Letter From the Government”, suckas!
Oh, it ain't over. Brother Ali is hitting the road for nearly three months with recent RSE signee Evidence, BK One and Toki Wright. Apparently, he's only taking 10 days off in the entire stretch — pro to the lific!
