- Order a new "Cassette" shirt and get an immediate download of the project : bit.ly/15uRnh8
As we embark on the War And Peace Tour with my brother, Immortal Technique, I'm excited to release a new musical project. "Left In The Deck" is a collection of 10 raw, grimy recordings made in basements and hotel rooms around the world. This demo-tape style release was produced entirely by Jake One. It hasn't been polished up for the market or cleaned for the radio. These songs were left in their original demo form and are intended only for my family of direct supporters. The beats are grimy and I feel like this is some of the best rhyming I've ever captured on tape. I want to release this directly to you.
You can stream here, and for all those kind enough to buy any Brother Ali shirt on the War And Peace Tour this fall, you'll also receive a digital download card of the album with your purchase. If the tour isn't coming to your city or you don't want to wait, don't worry, you can get the music immediately when you pre-order the "Cassette" shirt from Fifth Element.
Peace, Love and Power!
See you soon, and thank you for your support.
Brother Ali

Thanks for posting this 💪
Thanks for this
Most underrated rapper of all time. Brother ali, although i know your humble, i hope someday the world will give you the credit you deserve. Every time i'm forced to listen to trap, i rinse my ears out with the entire shadows on the sun album. That album is easily top ten rap albums ever made. You genius you
H DUB He is changing the world with his words. Soon the world will say thank you sir.
Thank you for the kind words, Myke. Appreciated.
Call me crazy or biased but Brother Ali is the greatest rapper alive right now.
everything you said is true
dude you're crazy or biased
Him, Aesop Rock, and Nino Bless
well he's up there! lyrically there isn't many rappers who can keep up!
Brother Ali is dope. Used to be my favorite rapper, but Andy Mineo and Lecrae take the cake nowadays. Still like Ali though
18 years ago I listened to Ali and still do how could anyone not enjoy his diverse art 🎨🎭🧮
Love you brother Ali .. I discovered you 4 years ago...On TH-cam.. I clicked on the thumbnail for 'Self Taught'.. Rest is history... You helped me get through some dark days.. Shed light on what real life is about.. real talk. I will always support anything and everything you put out. Rhymesayers for Life. If I have just request.. PLEASE make your next project with ANT. There is NOTHING in the world like Brother Ali on Ant beats.
The Brother has been my favorite ever since I heard him, consistently slanging at a level that's unheard of, the truness is what gets me! Best of all time!
If Ali ain't the baddest MF I don't know who is. Much respect.
Ayahuascatraveler MF DOOM lol
timeless. 💎
love jake one on the beats. great duo
God this is sooooo good!
Lyrically it's some of his best work!
His flow is unreal on this! Especially considering it's not cleaned up, cut dubbed and tuned! Just killer!
His work with ANT is usually what I like the best, heavy and fierce... Seems like most of his with jake1 is more mellow and mature, this throws that out the window! Gritty and grimy as my feet!
So wish I found this years ago!
I'd be rockin tha cassette shirt til it feel apart! And having a physical version of this to rock out... Shit man... Better late than never... Ali's always relevant I'll be bumpin this if I make to 80! Hope he's spitting it til he's 80!
Brother Ali shared a lot of techniques inside the book called *HOW TO RAP*, along with *HOW TO RAP 2*.
Brother Ali says this as one of his insights in them:
"I think people should record themselves, if you’re able to do
that, and really use it as a way to develop what you’re doing.
When we record the rough versions of songs, we record those
at [producer] Ant’s house on an old cassette four-track, and
that’s when we work that kind of stuff out - we’ll just try playing
with the delivery of things."
How to rap has so much input from so many indie artists... was definitely worth the read.
not many people can get away with releasing a cd of demos but Brother Ali pulled it off and it's fantastic. I listen to this as much as I listen to any other album.
Who thinks RSE should make a physical cassette for this..
or at least a cd
Kentainmb yes
vinyl even.
NubieGTAS if they do cd that's a must. just thought cassette would be cool
of course, it's a suggestion :b
'I expect more from myself than Id ever expect from you'
This is my first time hearing this album but this line resonated so well I was able to sing along to it.
Can this man do anything less than stellar? Ali doesn't seem to lose a single step with each release that drops. And Jake...these beats are crazy. Thank you guys so much for this. It made my day.
I didn't even know he put anything out this year. Glad I found out before the year ended.
said it before I'll state it again....Ali. Verbal pugilistic ability seeded in genius artistic nobelity author of truth and brave enough to paint the tragic reality
KDZ 313 That was very nice you to say about him.(: stay golden bro!
I wish this was on Spotify but i come back to it often here
All I have to say is....GODDAMN!!!! Tha Brother hasn't let me down notta once!
Thank you for another Great album Brother Ali. Real Hip hop lives in music like this.
RSE FOR LIFE! However please Brother just one track with Mayday. Or even Rittz would be amazing to hear. You are number 1 son. Keep this Soul Music coming.
brother ali for life... the realest of the realest... wish a massachusetts boy could come up with something more eloquent to say but... the truth!
SO FIRE! First time i listened to a whole Ali project and this makes me want to go through all his shit
currently in that deep dive man, 8 years later, thats crazy
Always been one of my favorite artists..Gonna do my best to catch a concert.
I owe so much to you all at Rhymesayers! Brother Ali is the dopest and I am so glad to hear all these leftover demos.
Love this. 30 mins of straight bars!!
Start a riot / heart of a lion....old soul with new influences/ shoes that fits/bliss/kiss/tune of his totally awesome badbutt bars Destroyin it! Keep it up Bro!
YEAH YEAH ! Brother Ali King'z ! Peace from FRANCE !
Brother Ali Moves Crowds; Is a Master of Ceremonies. He an MC to The Fullest Extent. More Then That He is Hip Hop (Higher Infinite Power Helping Oppressed People)
I got chills during that part.
"REAL TALK" GRRR...
🌍💫LOOKING UP , STANDING FIRM
💛💫
Brother Ali - Illest emcee alive. Every time a new album drops I say it can't get better. Then it does... Thanks for existing!
Artwork is so dope. I need a 24x36 of this.
My mouth was wide open and chills went down my spine in the last verse of "Digital Age". I could only dream to craft a verse with that kind of subject matter, rhyme scheme, and flow. Holy shit.
just one day before my 21st birthday. Thanks ali, much love & Highly appreciated. Peace above war
Wow... just Wow... this ones gonna have me listening over and over for AGESS
This is fucking dope. This whole album. This reminds me of B.O.B back before he got big, when he had soul and purpose. NO comparison to bob now. Brother ali pulled some shit I never heard of it, and it caught me off guard. hella tight.
That's the big brother lol
what about that Jake One production!!!!!! hottest underrated producer doing it for decades!
Brother Ali I love you man. Your music, your messages, and the example you set for all people is truly inspirational. Whether or not anybody agrees with me that you're the dopest, 1. You are the dopest. 2. Nobody can argue against the fact that you are one of the coolest artists alive. 3. And you have rely changed my life...I really hope I get to see the show in MA coming up it would be my first!
***** hell yeah! And that's what I mean. Just a genuine dude making genuine music. There is no fronting involved. I have so much respect for him. And am so jelly of you lmao
you've gotta love brother ali with jakeone...
Timeless my brother.
When my friends and family would mock me "Well Okay". Im not here to put anyone down, but I am here to give good vibes and just a vision of hope. I didnt write this song, but I loved it as if it was my own, and sent it to those that needed courage most. We are okay
Rapper thing is one of the realest tracks I've ever heard. Totally underrated. That's not just a rapper thing that's a lesson in life in general.
Worst part about Brother Ali projects: they end. Good shit as always. I'll expect a release when you're ass is 80. Peace.
Brother Ali is pure hip hop, for the soul yall, we are all blessed to listen to this man.
Love this so much been listening over a decade you're amazing

Barely heard this... I was missing out. its a classic from start to finish, so what we've all come to expect from the brother. Brother Ali is up on that list with KRS-ONE, RAKIM, and G.U.R.U.

Dope, as always. Rhymesayers always do it right, especially Ali.
