As he has been telling fans all year, Brother Ali will indeed release the follow-up to his acclaimed 2007 disc, “The Undisputed Truth,” by this fall. Simply titled “Us,” the Ant-produced collection will land Sept. 22 via Rhymesayers. It features one giant-name guest artist who you can bet had Ali thanking Allah, Chuck D of Public Enemy, along with his new Rhymesayers cohort Freeway and Mint Condition’s Stokley Williams. Talking backstage at Soundset, Ant told me the album features a lot more live instrumentation. He genuinely sounded proud as hell over the way it turned out.

As usual for the Rhymesayers crew, Ali will head out for a tour starting with a gig at Pizza Luce in Duluth on Sept. 22 and lasting all the way through Nov. 20, when he returns to First Avenue. Click here for the pre-sale ticket info.
