Brother Ali announces the release of his new album “Us” on September 22, 2009 from Rhymesayers Entertainment.

According to the Rhymesayers website “Ali has turned his gaze inward, and started examining the human condition from the outside in. A profound personal glimpse into a vulnerability seldom seen or heard in music, Us touches on the strengths and flaws of the human condition, exploring drug abuse, divorce, homophobia and many more topics that most people are scared to touch in their own lives, much less on an album for the world to see.”

Ant is again the man behind the production and “Us” will feature appearances by Chuck D, Freeway, Joell Ortiz and Stokley Williams of Mint Condition. Also, a tour for this release will be rolling through Vancouver and Victoria this October with label mates BK One, Toki Wright and Evidence of Dilated Peoples (who recently signed to Rhymesayers).
