Brother Ali – The Bite Marked Heart EP

You’d find Rhymesayers’ Brother Ali by flipping to ‘U’ in a dictionary, hovering somewhere between ‘underappreciated’ and ‘underrated.’ It’s my belief that his style is simply unluckily living in the wrong era of hip-hop, where substance has given way to style. The Minnesotan just released a free EP, The Bite Marked Heart, a seven track project that further displays his soulful lyrical ability that shows its face through skilled storytelling and writing rather than abstract metaphors. This is an EP about love, but not in the simp-ass Drake way — more grown man shit. Look out for his Mourning in America album later this year.
