Chances are you have never heard of Brother Ali. As an albino Muslim, he may not pass under the radar walking down the street, but he has managed to stay relatively unknown in the rap world. Well not for long...

3 years in the making, The Undisputed Truth is the excellent sophomore effort by Brother Ali. Featuring nearly 60 minutes of Ali and just Ali, there are no skits or featuring artists, so by the end of this CD, it seems as if you know Ali on a much more personal album than would seem possible after only one listen. This album features Ant form the duo Atmosphere producing most of the tracks, which feature his signature soul inflected beats. Make no mistake, this cd is all about Ali, but one can see the deveolpment of Ant as a producer, as he delves deeper into reggae inflected beats and creates a more unique style. This is not just a side project for Ant, and he pulls out some of his best production work to date. Ali rips almost every track, and his flow fits perfectly with Ants production.

Right from the beginning, it is visible how muhc music means to Brother Ali and how much effort he puts into every track. Each track shows raw emotion that is somehting that is surprisingly fresh to listen to, and is nothing like the stuff pumping through your radio. The first track Watcha Got is an absolute banger and will get you swaying your head immediatly. My only problem with this album is that there were not more bangers like this one, as it seems this is what Ali raps most comfortably over. Next comes Lookin at me sideways, which shows Alis stunning storytelling abilities.

Tracks pass quickly, and Ali bears his soul to the listener, and functions on a much mroe personal level than any rapper you may have heard. The listener learns that Ali is a single father, and that he has recently lost his mother to cancer. the only dissapointment is that Ali does not use this material to create especiialy powereful songs;they act only as details to already stellar songs.

The standout track on this album is Letters from the government. Over a laid back beat layed down by Ant, Ali's lyrics take the wheel as he drops some of his most political lyrics yet. This preformance is not only thought provoking but amazingly done and will catch you hitting the back button over and over to listen to it again and again. Take Me Home might be the catchiest track on the cd and is a close contender for best track

If you have never heard Brother ALI, i highly reccommend that you do not sleep on this incredibly talent any longer. If you have heard of Ali, and have picked up any of his previous works, be told that this is a step up and shows growth on the part of both Ant as a producer and Ali as a rapper.

I actually got this album 5 days before it came out and i was chomping at the bit to tell EVERYONE I KNEW how great this album is. ( i set up what to search for on amazon actually)

I love brother ali for what he is and does. He speaks nothing but the unabashed truth.. all he does on this Lp is show how superior he is to anyone else in the game rite now. I honestly think the only person who can mess with him rite now is Nas. The best part of the whole ordeal is that this man is completely respected and he is staying true to his underground roots( RHYMESAYERS....MINNEAP BABY!!!!)in minneapolis. We have shown nothing but support and love to ali and all he has given us back is INCREDIBLE albums and heartfelt anthems.

ali is the best rapper alive, BUY THIS LP

First time I ever heard of Brother Ali but the Undisputed Truth delivers, trust me you won't be disappointed.

If you don't know about this album you need to get it right now. I would say it is my favorite CD right now and has been for a few months, It's not your typical "rims,bling and bitches" hip hop. Every song on this CD is great. Great beats and socialy conscious lyrics make it a must have for any true hip hop fan.Go get it NOW!

Brother Ali comes through with an excellent album for all the true hip-hop heads out there. His second album is right on the same level as his first, which is top-notch. Ali's voice and flow are so powerful & passionate, you can't help but feel every word he's saying. Backed by some excellent production from Ant of Atmosphere, who is one of todays best beat makers. The second half of the album is definitely stronger in my opinion, with the last song being my favorite. The best tracks on the album are; "Watcha Got", "Daylight", "Here", "Take Me Home", "Walking Away", "Faheem", and "Ear To Ear". It's hard to say if this indeed is a classic album, but it is right on the brink of greatness.
