So crank up the sound, let the music touch your soul… and Jump For Joy… As always: Have faith! And it feels even better if you know that there are so many people out there that love what you are doing too and give us those positive vibrations night after night. It is a great feeling to do what you love. This one captures the heart and soul of my band as we are now! After being on the road for more than 22 years, we are still Feelin’ Alive. Night after night, the moment we walk on that stage, we feel alive… we love playing and delivering the goods. That is how we feel it and we hope you do to! We called this one Feelin’ Alive, because that is what playing in this band, with these guys, is all about. Pharoahe Monch, Talib Kweli and CS Armstrong also bless the special unannounced project with their own genius.Here we are again, burning down highways, making it groovy, rocky, bluesy and everything in between… The spirit of Rock ‘n Roll is captured on this live album. Evidence from Dilated Peoples provided the beats, delivering a dusty, downtempo, lo-fi soundscape for Ali to revisit his basement roots. In addition to leading worship services and classes across the country, he co-founded The Gemali Project, an organization that helps Muslim converts and spiritual seekers access the beauty of the Islamic tradition.īrother Ali’s latest release, Secrets & Escapes, surprised fans when it was released without warning in November 2019.

He’s also lectured at universities from Princeton to Stanford and delivered the keynote address at the Nobel Peace Prize Forum. His provocative and uplifting brand of Hip Hop has earned him coveted press features like Rolling Stone’s 40th anniversary edition and Source Magazine’s legendary “Hip Hop Quotables”, while his outspoken social justice message has landed him on government watch lists. His two-decade resume includes eight critically acclaimed albums, mentorships with iconic Hip Hop legends Chuck D and Rakim, and performances on late night talk shows with Jimmy Fallon and Conan O’Brien. Brother Ali is a highly respected Hip Hop artist, speaker and community leader from Minneapolis, MN.
