Brother Ali returns with the follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2007 album The Undisputed Truth. Us is an album about the people closest to Ali...those that have shaped him as a person. Many of the stories are ones we know exist but might not have a personal understanding of. American slavery from the perspective of the enslaved as well as those that carry the burden and bloodline of the slave master, rape and the struggle to regain control after experiencing it, drug abuse, depression, homophobia, divorce and more. All heavy topics that very few can approach with the same human touch and understanding as Ali. Make no mistake, Us is definitely a heavy album but - as always - Ali finds time to celebrate not only life's blessings but his respect and love for the art of MCing, as well.
