Must-See Music Pick! From the Music Editors: View Music Picks 
There's just something about Brother Ali that makes him one of the most magnetic MCs in the game. His physical appearance alone makes him stand out, yes, but it's his honesty and willingness to let himself go on the mic that's made him the new face of Rhymesayers. His latest album, Us, finds him in classic form, with everything from blistering political narratives to soft-spoken personal raps. Ant produced the album, matching Ali's intensity with an onslaught of funky breaks. For this show Ali will be sharing the stage with Evidence (of Dilated Peoples), Toki Wright and DJ/producer BK One, all of whom are signed to the Rhymesayers imprint. Early arrival is highly recommended. (J. Min)
