  • 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

    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

    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."

    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.

  • @swayback7375
    @swayback7375 8 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    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!

(R.I.P.). Rhymsayers is a crew full of fire spitters; straight demons helping guard the banner of real hip hop.
