"Legally blind albino" hardly fits the description of a typical hip-hop artist, but Brother Ali is hardly typical. Despite growing up in Minneapolis' cold winters, Ali's rhymes exhibit a warm soulfulness that is gut-wrenching in its honesty. Couple that with the melodic, sing-song quality of his flow, throw it over production from longtime friend and collaborator Ant (Atmosphere), and the result is a true one-of-a-kind artist. As the Brother himself once said, "They come for the albino, they stay for the fresh."
