Brother Ali

Didn't find a thread for him, and he definitly is under appreciated. Amazing flow with meaningful lyrics. Its also a refreshing take on current rap music with no really similar in hip hop today I can think of.
To start you guys off here is one of his earlier songs and one of his slightly later ones.

This is most definitely a thread that needs some attention. Brother Ali is a beast on the mic, and he can do the softer stuff like "Forest Whitaker" and "Faheem."

There are few artists out there whose music garners as much of my respect as Brother Ali's. "Self Taught" is always blasting on my iTunes.

He's up there. He's better than most. Definitely surprising this thread never got kicked off.

I haven't kept up with him. The last time I heard him was on Gift of Gab's Escape 2 Mars with Del...
