That track with him and Monch is crazy. Still going through the album now. Brehs, if you haven’t done so, go see him live. Absolute monster performer

I’d not have known about this without you posting. Daps and rep. Ev teases that he was producing a full album for someone this fall and people thought it might be Krondon. I guess it was Ali.
About to dive in.

I want to make a separate post about Ali, but regarding Ev he keeps reminding me that he’s a name you can trust.
He said he’s producing the bulk of his next solo album and I was a little bit
but this gives me a lot of confidence it’ll be dope. He keeps stepping it up on the beats.

Was about to make this thread simply cause it was a new album that dropped. Haven’t listened to him since 09, but based on the first few tracks, he ain’t lost a step. Really good listen so far both lyrically and production wise.

Evidence is one of the most underrated producers and now rappers out there. Brother Ali used to be one of my fav rappers but started getting a little too political for me for a bit. Going to peep this off the strength of Evidence these days

Same here. See I'm also not really on social media so The Booth is where I find most of my new hip-hop. So I'm glad I saw this thread or it might've been a little while before I caught this.
2009 is very specific BTW. What happened in 2009? Did he drop a dud? I'm not overly familiar with his career, except for Shadows of the Sun (I think that was the title?) I liked that album a lot and then I liked the one that Jake One produced. I've never been over the moon with Ali as an emcee but I've always thought he was very good and picked a lot of good production. Sometimes he comes off a bit preachy IMO so I don't go out of my way to listen, but I never regret it when I do.

I think I had just fallen out of backpack/underground rap for awhile. I pretty much only remember that “Best @ It” song (which was great). Kinda makes me want to back track stuff I missed from him
@ how it happened to be the other albino.
