Muslim Albino hip-hop is clearly a good thing:

[markeee]

never even heard of him before, could be amusing though

[Salt_On_Everything]

It's all about West Holts on saturday:

[honey_d]

checked him out on youtube when the lineup came out..

like what i've heard so far and will be making the effort

[Steve P]

He's firmly on my list of "must see's", really looking forward to him. Uncle Sam God Damn is a brilliant track.

[dost]

Went to see him play live a few months ago. Expectations not that high but he was absolutely brilliant. He pulls off a very rare trick of being really right on without coming over in any way worthy or preachy. He just want to make you jump up and down with a big smile on your face.

[Peache Calhoon]

I think i will definitly be at West Holts on Saturday.

[WillieG]

Brother Ali is one of the best artists on the planet right now.  Rhymes from the heart on social issues such as racism, homophobia, domestic violence....a very rare talent in hip hop that everyone should pay attention to.  This is how good hip hop can be, "Jazzworld" is gonna be rocked on Saturday!

Will definitely be there. Get precious little of this sort of politically conscious, intellilgent hip-hop at Glastonbury. Not my favourite artist connected to the Strange Famous Records label (see Sage Francis, B Dolan, Prolyphic & Reanimator, Buck 65) but very much looking forward to this. THe song Uncle Sam Goddam from his most recent album is well worth checking out if you're not familiar. Wish they'd get Sage and B Dolan on the bill, but you can't have everything  

[WillieG]

Anything on the Rhymesayer label should be listened too, and i believe Uncle Sam is on the Undisputed Truth....he's released 2 albums since then  :-P

And i agree, Sage Francis with Ali would be amazing

I would literally be crying with excitement if Sage Francis was playing... Still, Brother Ali is gonna be great!

[tinners]

Brother Ali is truly great and I'm so looking forward to his set. The thing that kills me though is that his DJ is Mr Snuggles. Altogether, Awwwwwww

Likewise. If I could pick any one band or artist to see at Glastonbury it would be him. Alas, extremely unlikely. Are you aware of his UK tour in September, though?

Pleased to be of service sir. I'll be at the Bristol date. IF you haven't already checked him out, the support B Dolan, besided looking very much like Sage, is awesome. His album that came out this year Fallen House Sunken City, produced by Alias is fantastic boom-bap, political hip-hop.
