Brother Ali: Fresh Air Tour - Live in Louisville, KY (11/15/09)

Although Brother Ali's incredible Fresh Air Tour has since wrapped up, It's All The Way Live came through with a high quality recording of Ali's set at Uncle Pleasant's in Louisville, KY. I heard that a select few of my readers are Brother Ali fans, so I figured it's a good idea to repost (I also fixed a few labeling errors from the original). If you skipped the tour or it didn't come through your city, I'm terribly sorry, because you missed what was arguably the best show of the year. Thankfully, this can partially fill the empty void in your hip-hop heart.

Freeway & Jake One: "Know What I Mean" + The Stimulus Package Tracklist

Lots of rumored leaks from this album have made their way to the internet, but Rhymesayers just let loose of the first official lead single from Freeway and Jake One's collaborative album, The Stimulus Package. The album is due on February 16, 2010, but can be preordered starting right now at Fifth Element. Two lucky "preorderers" will receive a "Stimulus Check" for a $100 gift certificate at Fifth Element. Also, included at the end of the post is the album's tracklist. Everything looks good, with two letdowns. 1) Birdman? Really??? 2) Where's the Brother Ali guest spot? Can't win 'em all, I guess.
