Minneapolis-based MC Brother Ali, is going back on tour. The next chapter in Ali's anthology of personal albums, entitled Us, comes September 22 from Rhymesayers. The label that has released fine work from the likes of P.O.S and MF DOOM reports that Brother Ali's new album
"touches on the strengths and flaws of the human condition, exploring drug abuse, divorce, homophobia, and many more topics that most people are scared to touch in their own lives, much less on an album for the world to see."
