Brother Ali: The Undisputed Truth


Producer: Ant

After the success of Shadows on the Sun, Brother Ali teamed again with Ant to create his second album, called The Undisputed Truth. This album consolidated Ali as one of the best emcees in the game, showing how Ali evolved since his last work, mainly in his writing skills. It can be explained by the many family issues Brother Ali have been through the years between the release of his two albums.

In The Undisputed Truth, Ant keeps the formula, a bet in hard-drum beats and widely samples, creating intricate soundscapes in each track. "Watcha Got" features a rock sample, and Ali spits hard; the personal issues inspired "Walking Away", a track where Ali talks about his ex-wife over a smooth beat and a nice sample; "Faheem" is more uptempo, and sees Ali rhyming about his son. But is "Uncle Sam Goddamn" the additional touch of the album: political lyrics with high doses of criticism on American government, laced over a country sample.

There is even more tracks with this political feel, such "Letter from Government", "Truth Is" and "Freedom Ain't Free". This new side of Ali shows his evolution as emcee, always adding new element to his writing, although he doesn't loose his identity.
