Some footage of the Rhymesayers emcees during their European promot tour of Brother Ali’s latest album, US.

While in Paris with Grieves, Brother Ali performed his fan favorite cut to the masses. Props to akram ha for the footage.

During the Columbus stop of the Fresh Air Tour, HigherPlaneTV caught up with Brother Ali to talk about Islamic principles and fullfilling one’s destiny in life. Then after the jump Ali speaks on handling adversity, self-improvement, relationships as partnerships and discovering what works in life and introspection in hip hop. He also speaks of a Hov line that he’s been inspired by and the important things we should take away from both Jay-Z and 50 Cent’s success stories.

Justin Timberlake shows up and beat boxes for Brother Ali Live at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar in Jackson, Wyoming for the JH Snowboarder Magazine release party 2010.

Justin Timberlake + Brother Ali + Wyoming of all places = extremely random-ass.

I attended this show, and the whole thing gave me newfound respect for Dante and Brother Ali’s live sets. Applaud All The Way Live for providing the audio.

The big bad Brother going in over some Kanye West? Yes, please!

We had 15 inches of snow in Minnesota over the past few days. My holiday was over a month ago and I’ve been stuck in my house the last few days. To entertain myself, I chopped up a Kanye West song called “I’m So Appalled” and did a super rough homemade recording of some bars. This is what I do when I’m bored!

I’ve been secretely wanting this to go down for years. The Legendary Roots Crew linking up with my man Ali! I’ve got it all planned out. First they rock on stage together. As shown above (Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon) and after the jump (OKP’s Holiday Jammy). Then they collaborate for epic greatness via song. Let’s get it!

Brother Ali is Hip Hop’s formidable Road Warrior. He tours at a relentless pace, something that is not only integral to his music career, but his actual musical output. His fan base is grassroots grown, and one that relates to Ali on a variety of levels. On his recent album, Us, Ali puts that relationship, as well as a plethora of others, front and center with the goal to bridge the gap between his friends and his fans. During a recent tour stop in Chicago, Ali sat down with RubyHornet.com’s DJ RTC to talk relationships, touring, and more. Check it out.

If you are like me, you missed any and all chances to check out the incredibly dope Fresh Air Tour. Luckily there have been a few YouTube clips, etc that have somewhat helped fill the empty void in my heart (not really haha). Anyways, ItsAllTheWayLive came through with a HQ recording of Ali’s entire set at Uncle Pleasant’s in Louisville, KY. Hit the jump and check out the entire setlist, courtesy of MB.

Some footage of Ali & Ev tearing it down during the Chicago stop of their Fresh Air Tour. Despite what the video above says the name of the song is called Room With a View, which can be found on my personal favorite Brother Ali album Shadows on the Sun. More after the jump…

Everytime I see something about this tour I curse everything for it not stopping in Vegas.

Guest stars Rakaa Iriscience, Everlast and Sick Jacken join Brother Ali, BK One, Evidence and Toki Wright on The Fresh Air Tour.

…i came here to roc(k) the nation, i don’t need sean carter…

In my opinion… little to no emcees can get on a beat after Brother Ali and do it the same justice. And while my thoughts still apply to this track, I still think the St. Paul resident held his own. Shouts to Mike Dreams on sending it through.
