Hell yes. Anytime new Brother Ali material surfaces I get excited [II]. It’s really dope to see him expanding his fan base. People outside of the indie scene are sleeping far too hard [IIx2]. Produced by DJ Benzi, straight off 10.Deep‘s new mixtape, The New Deal, dropping tomorrow. Hit the jump for the full artwork…

damn…brother ali kills it. real talk.
“Big music industry will seldom give a mention / but the few that do go on and respect him as a legend.”
Ali might get a nod for best verse of the year. Holy shit!
^^i agree. brother ali went IN. joe budden’s ‘who’ gets my vote for the verse of the year.
Ali MURDERED This! Hands down like 6:30. More Ali Please!
wow. how long has brother ali been waiting for a chance to get that off his chest?? He spit more substance in that verse than dwayne has in his career thus far. damn.
mpls…………
Dope as fuck
Minneapolis in the Building…
Brother Ali is better than you.
Wale and Brother Ali, nuff said.
my God…i’m speechless. why must Ali murk every track he’s on?!?!?
its a shame it took an albino to spit a pro-black verse like that. Ali Boombye-a.
Ali’s last CD is one of my favorites… any new Ali to me is worth having, and this was just crazy. Fan of both of em
The Truth is here, The truth is here.
this is off Benzi’s album “Get Right” coming soon on Amalgam Digital!
Rappers can’t clap me
Jackers can’t gat me
Original meaning of jazzy fat nasty
I don’t bite rapper’s lines, I bite the captain’s arm off
I don’t throw shots in the air, I throw that molatov
Cocktail, reservoir dog my collar off
Ya’ll scared to get that revolution popping off
You really got the guns you claiming to track
Then my question to you is who you aiming ‘em at
You complain that the rap police caught you with a gat under the seat
Misdemeanored that twenty bag of weed
But little old me with the few facts that I speak
The homeland security gaveled me over seas
Froze my bank account and seized my guarantee
And ya’ll are soundscanning like a hundred more than me
They kicking you off tour for freaking a chick or two
Verizon dissed me too cuz I was too political
Ya’ll are all safe and shit, ya’ll are not saying shit
You just snap your fingers and dance and make your label rich
Gotta pay back that advance, so they aint gave you shit
This is your chance to say something and you’re wasting it
People are starving, you talking bout balling
Can’t think of nothing more important than that jargon
Hundred different ways to describe diamonds sparkling
Eighty percent of kids are listening to ya’ll shit
I heard that statistic I almost cried
Never wanted so bad for 2pac to be alive
What the fuck happened to rap when
The gangsters are scared of upsetting they industry masters
It aint my place to say and I hear all that
But fuck that, I live in the hood and we need ya’ll cats
So as soon as I hear ya’ll on some real pro black
Then I will gladly go back to my emo rap
They say the truth don’t belong to nobody, if you see it just speak it
It would be a sin to keep it a secret
So if I need to breathe then believe that I mean it
Quit trying to be somebody’s boss and be a leader
If it wasn’t bad enough your labels are hoeing you
You can’t even scan, your fans are downloading you
There’s no connection, so they’re not supporting you
You aint never shed light on nothing that they’re going through
We aint buying cds, we striving to live
And these artists don’t need me they already rich
I aint hating on you, rock them shines
Just remember us from time to time when you drop them lines
Rappers can’t clap me
Jackers can’t gat me
Original meaning of jazzy fat nasty
Busy raising babies and living on tour
Signing off Brother Ali, sincerely yours

I love that you just come to expect shit like this from him on every track.
Rhymesayers turned me back on to Hip Hop after listening to everything go gangster in the late 80′s to early 90′s or around that time. Cats like Brother Ali only come along so often. Can you imagine what would happen to the powers that be, if his name crossed the ears of every Kid comin’ up? I pass the info on as much as possible, because the youngsters comin’ up need to know this. I got goose bumps.
Brother Ali…wow straight destroyed the track…
