It’s Bigger Than Hip-Hop: Brother Ali’s “Mourning in America” (Listen) Posted by Nathan S. on 08/14/12 | Filed under Brother Ali

Man, after that Fat Guy Who Yells video I needed this new Brother Ali "Mourning in America". The great thing about hip-hop is that it's so large: 2 Chainz is hip-hop and MF DOOM is hip-hop, Plies is hip-hop and Brother Ali is hip-hop. You just have to make sure you balance out your playlist, and no one gets me back in balance faster than Ali.

Fresh off the biggest placement of his life, Jake One comes through with yet another dope beat for Ali to just straight up drop some knowledge. "See the anguish of the parents / When they’re carrying the body of the baby that they cherish / When innocent people perish / It’s a very thin line between a soldier and a terrorist." Goddamn.

Ali's upcoming Rhymesayers release "Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color" is due to drop on September 18 - you can get your pre-order and get all the new updates from the album as they happen via the mothership. Enjoy:
