Brother Ali – New Verses @ Highline Ballroom 10-20-07 & First Avenue 10-10-08
Posted on February 16th, 2009 by HighVoltage in Brother Ali, Live Music Downloads
Here are two Brother Ali verses that are a prime example of why he’s consistently been one of the best on the mic for over a decade. The first is an unreleased song which he performed at Highline Ballroom in NYC at the CMJ Showcase with Evidence and Little Brother joining him on the bill. I have also included a video of another acapella performance of this song with additional verses from a couple weeks ago. Next up is Brother Ali’s verse from “2nd Time Around”, a song he did with Wale which can be found on DJ Benzi’s The New Deal Mixtape. This rendition is a hundred times more powerful live and is also backed by the live band, The Rhythm Roots All-Stars.
