I’ve been told that Muslim emcee Brother Ali’s new album ‘Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color’ is “about unifying individuals that are otherwise disenfranchised by creating a sense of community and understanding. A community where we are able to see ourselves in each other and are willing to acknowledge and respect our differences.”
Usually, these words (which take consideration in order to understand) can be overlooked by many but when there’s good beats and an even better flow behind them to give them meaning, it sounds as though it’s really worth see Brother Ali perform at the Roadhouse as part of his European tour.
Support comes from label mates Grieves & Budo (Rhymesayers)
