年份 2020 藝人 Brother Ali 專輯   Secrets & Escapes (CD) 廠牌   Rhymesayers Entertainment 樂風   Hip-Hop, Rap NT$ 499

最近在慢慢擴充美國獨立嘻哈廠牌 Rhymesayers Entertainment 的發行，經過 Aesop Rock、Atmosphere、MF Doom、Sa-Roc 後終於來到了 Brother Ali。

Brother Ali 時常笑媒體第一句都先介紹他是位白子饒舌歌手（結果我們也還是提到了），創作聚焦在關注種族、政治批判，但也有不少愛與關懷的作品，最著名的是 2007 年的〈Uncle Sam Goddamn〉這首歌，當時太轟動還被凍結帳戶...

Secrets & Escapes is a compendium of Brother Ali s time with Evidence over the course of three trips to California, recording in a Venice garage with no regard for pleasing the internet or competing with the music industry. Ev chopped up records on old-school samplers and ran them through a compressor (2 track) so they could not be re-arranged or mixed. Brother Ali sat with the mic and spit rhymes as they came to him, without writing or organizing them into songs. Ev smoked a lot of weed, Ali prayed a lot, and their influences on each other can be heard in the recordings. Every time they made something that reminded them of what they have become known for, they threw it away and started something new. Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch and CS Armstrong all came through to bless the project with contributions too. This album is two friends making rap music for no other reason than because it is what they love to do.
