Brother Ali - Mourning in America

Today Brother Ali drops off the title track aesthetics to his forthcoming album, Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color. Just as the single expectantly deals with a number of heavy issues, the accompanying visuals are just as intense and thought-provoking. The predominantly white and black footage was created by Todd Angkasuwan as you can check it out above. Also, if you’re looking to pre-order Ali’s anticipated project, dropping on September 18, simply follow the link here. The Rhymesayers rapper had this to say regarding the album:

This is the title track to my new album, Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color. The first half of the album highlights and critiques the dire situation in which we live. The second half outlines the tremendous opportunity we have to re-imagine and reform our society. This song is an observation and a critique of our culture of death and murder. From actual war zones around the world to our own inner cities where this summer’s death rates rival war zones. I also address our national hypocrisy regarding violence. We have a zero tolerance policy of violence committed against us, but we’re a lot more lenient and patient when it comes to the violence we commit. “A life is a life and a killer is a killer”
