Brother Ali - "Us" - Listen Here
Brother Ali's new record Us is out September 22nd on Rhymesayers Entertainment. A profound personal glimpse into a vulnerability seldom seen or heard in music, Us touches on the strengths and flaws of the human condition, exploring drug abuse, divorce, homophobia and many more topics that most people are scared to touch in their own lives, much less on an album for the world to see. As with previous endeavors, the beats here are courtesy of Ant, whose production work seems to be getting more soulful and lush by the minute. The guest appearances only accentuate Brother Ali’s strengths, with Chuck D, Freeway, Joell Ortiz and Stokley Williams of Mint Condition making strong appearances.

Jermaine Dupri ft. Johnta Austin - "So Successful" - Listen Here
JD brags about having the money, cars and clothes. The only thing missing in his life seems to be Janet Jackson. Like Blackstreet thought us, money can't buy you love.

William Fitzsimmons - "Heartless" - Listen Here
Maybe covering "Heartless" by Kanye West is to 2009 what covering "Remix To Ignition" was to 2003, but William Fitzsimmons' acoustic version is by far the most unnervingly earnest/best of the lot.

Che Grand - "King Grand" - Listen Here
