Brother Ali - The Undisputed Truth
Rhymesayers
Brother Ali's third studio album 'The Undisputed Truth' turns 15. The fortified Ali and his compelling verbiage never fail to give insight into and uplift one's current state. The Undisputed Truth is Produced by Ant of Atmosphere - making The Undisputed Truth the second album, and third project, in which the pairing of Ali and Ant would flourish.
One of the wisest brothers to ever put pen to paper breathes life into The Undisputed Truth through material that covers severe cases of introspection - walking around the minds minefield - and encounters with life itself. Battling the day to day existence of being a father, friend and most relatably a human being. Unflinching in his stature Ali reigns right hands home through verbal encounters. An enlightened brother, but don't let his shining spirit blind you - fists will still get thrown.
Few artists are as consistent as Brother Ali. Covering all corners of the Hip-Hop formula - beats, rhymes and subject matter - have never been done as effectively. From a technical standpoint The Undisputed Truth may just be Ali's most controlled and thought out project. The album exudes the 'sit back and let them destroy themselves' mindset. You can give your two cents, but things outside of your control will happen either way.
"I'm not waiting, I'm patiently persevering" - re-framing a state can do wonders to the mind.
