Brother Ali Rocks Neumos Tonight
Brother Ali is here to share The Undisputed Truth in person! From the Twin Cities, this man has a powerful story and a powerful vision for what hiphop can be. He's challenging, personal, and fresh. Witness:
From a compelling feature in City Pages last year:
One minute, Ali's sonorous voice is a crowd-controlling force—as brash as anything since Run-DMC shouted down their own building-sized beats—and the next it's a whispery lullaby.[...]Yet as Ali's reading list suggests, he's different. My passenger is a blind Muslim albino who refuses to identify himself by race, though his swooping lashes and baldhead fuzz are transparent. He could be the ghost of a snowman, but he's not white.You gotta hear him live! He'll be playing at Neumos tonight with Abstract Rude (from LA, also signed to Rhymesayers), Toki Wright, and BK-One.
