Brother Ali – Mr. President (You’re the Man)

Brother Ali felt inspired by Obama’s victory last night so he went in and recorded this new track. Very dope! I have a feeling this be be one of three thousand tracks about Obama that we will see within the next day or two. But fuck it, we did it! Also, FSD has Common’s thoughts on the victory. And hit the jump for Election Night at Will Smith’s house…
