The new Brother Ali album, what you think?

Did any one hear this album yet? I've played through it once, and replayed a few tracks after. It's not by any means the same as "The Truth is here", which had some interesting political songs and views..

This album has a few dope conceptuals, and stories. The song "house keys" which is about his apartment building, and how he moved from one room to another, but kept the key. Later on he robs the dealers in that apartment.. pretty dope idea.

but I have no complaints about it. Just solid tracks that were well written. I honestly didn't really have an opinion, or liking to brother ali. Herd a few songs in a friends car and disliked the flow and sound. (partially do to the fact that this friend has a shitty fucking stereo system, which could make any rapper sound like garbage.) but he's kinda grown on me, and the styles unique, so it's worth the listen.

Some times ya just have to download.. can't be helped. but if I like an album enough I try to make a point of paying for it in some way.

So, after listening to this a few more time through, it would def. be worth buying even though I have it already. Doubt that I will though. The collab with joel ortiz was nice, and on that song freeway even manages to stay with both joel and ali.

good beats all the way through, smooth..

I can't say right now, but most songs seem like they wont wear down on me and get old. Where as a lot of good songs can just get played out quick when I listen to them. as usual he does his own singing/chorus and what he's got to say in more than 3 tracks is really fresh content. He's one of those guys that I wonder why the fuck he's not on the radio.. in the same sense that kanye got a lot of radio play in his first album for having a good message.. but ali is much better in my eyes. At least 2 tracks could be radio singles.. should be radio singles.. but when's the last time you've hurd a rhymeslayers artist have a song on the radio?!?!?

I like the album, I haven't given it enough listens because of several new albums I d/l lately but it is a awesome album.
