    ..Music.... .... ..Brother Ali.... ....Us...... ..In-Stores: 09.22.09.... ..Pre-Order:.. ..Add To Cart.. .... ..Brother Ali's.. last album, the critically acclaimed, ..The Undisputed Truth.., was a landmark in hip-hop, an album that carried weight equally with critics and fans alike, an album of bold statements and bolder beats, politically and socially aware without being preachy. His new album, ..Us.. (..Rhymesayers Entertainment..), is a progression that will make Brother Ali one of the most enduring figures in hip-hop; while still aware, Ali has turned his gaze inward, and started examining the human condition from the outside in. A profound personal glimpse into a vulnerability seldom seen or heard in music, Us touches on the strengths and flaws of the human condition, exploring drug abuse, divorce, homophobia and many more topics that most people are scared to touch in their own lives, much less on an album for the world to see. .... As with previous endeavors, the beats here are courtesy of ..Ant.., whose production work seems to be getting more soulful and lush by the minute. The guest appearances only accentuate Brother Ali's strengths, with ..Chuck D, Freeway, Joell Ortiz.. and ..Stokley Williams.. of ..Mint Condition.. making strong appearances. .... .. .. ....Eyedea & Abilities.. ......By The Throat...... ..Add To Cart.. .... After a five year break exploring new sounds and building their personal repertoires, the dynamic duo of ..Eyedea & Abilities.. return with the follow up to their 2004 critically acclaimed sophomore album ..E&A... With biting guitars, fuzzy keyboards, melodic choruses, and some of their most intricate turntable work to date, ..By The Throat.. cuts right to the vein and advances far beyond Eyedea & Abilities battle tested history (winners of HBO Blaze Battle, Rocksteady, Scribble Jam and the DMC’s). .... Throughout the nineties the duo played an important role in the development of the emerging underground Hip Hop scene alongside friends Atmosphere, Aesop Rock, EL-P, the Living Legends, Sage Francis, Blueprint and more. Always pushing the boundaries, Eyedea & Abilities have not only grown but have elevated their talents and once again successfully brought them together with By The Throat. ...... .... ..Toki Wright.... ....A Different Mirror...... ..Add To Cart.. .... Continuing it's longtime tradition of exposing people to new voices, Rhymesayers Entertainment presents the Spotlight Series. This new series of releases is aimed at giving developing talent a platform to bring their message to the masses. Specifically priced for retail this series promises to bring emerging artists to the forefront. .... The first artist in the Rhymesayers Spotlight Series is none other than ..Toki Wright... Most known as opening act and hypeman for Brother Ali, Toki is not only a well established emcee but one of the hardest working community activists in the Twin Cities area. With numerous accolades and a tour history that has taken him from New York to Uganada, Toki Wright Is ready to take his next step with ....A Different Mirror..... ...... .... ..Abstract Rude.... ....Rejuvenation...... ..Add To Cart.. .... As a product of the legendary Goodlife open mic sessions, Abstract Rude splashed onto the scene in 1994 as part of the famed Project Blowed crew that included LA’s Freestyle Fellowship and Aceyalone. As one half of the A-Team (with Aceyalone), one third of Haiku D’Etat (with Aceyalone & Myka 9) and frontman of his group Abstract Tribe Unique (ATU), Ab Rude has endeared himself to fans worldwide through consistent touring and genre defining albums such as 1999’s South Central Thynk Tank (currently out of print). Once signed to the Beastie Boys Grand Royal imprint, Ab has readied himself to re-emerge with Rhymesayers Entertainment and his most consistent and focused work to date, Rejuvenation. Produced entirely by Seattle super producer Vitamin D (G-Unit, Redman, Young Buck, Gift of Gab, Choklate, Lifesavas, Black Sheep, etc.), Rejuvenation is a hard hitting soulful ryde showcasing Ab Rude’s distinct and unlimited vocal styling. ...... .... ..Brother Ali.... ....The Truth Is Here...... ..Add To Cart.. .... It's been two years since Brother Ali released the critically acclaimed album The Undisputed Truth, and as the Rhymesayers lyrical heavyweight and producer Ant put the finishing touches on their upcoming follow up (Fall '09) the dynamic duo cap off the last two years with a new EP and a full-length DVD. .... Nine tracks featuring two highly sought after b-sides and seven new and previously unreleased songs including "Philistine David", which was featured in the Jonathan Demme directed documentary, Jimmy Carter Man From Plains and "The Believer" a collaboration with Slug of Atmosphere. In addition to the new EP, The Truth Is Here also contains a full length DVD that features Brother Ali's sold out homecoming performance during The Undisputed Truth Tour at the legendary First Avenue nightclub in Minneapolis as well as interviews, a special commentary by Brother Ali, and videos of "Take Me Home" and "Uncle Sam Goddamn" from The Undisputed Truth. The Truth Is Here captures a key period in the career of what many have called one of the most promising voices to emerge from the underground this century and will be a must have for any and every Brother Ali fan. ...... .. .. ..P.O.S.. .. ....NEVER BETTER.... .. ..Add To Cart.. .... ..P.O.S... returns with ....Never Better.... his follow-up to 2006's critically acclaimed ....Audition..... On it, he raps at full-clip to ride rolling drums and revving distortion. There’s an urgency that he keeps in careful check, and then unleashes for spring-loaded verses that represent his best work. P.O.S. produced more than half the beats on ....Never Better...., which bears his unmistakable signature. The album enters the room like bombshell with a black eye—badass, noisy and impossible to ignore. .... ....Never Better.... offers a one of a kind four panel transparent plastic Digipak that holds 16 solid and 6 Transparent inserts. The solid inserts have artwork on the front and lyrics/credits on the back. Mix and match the various cards to enhance and change the look of the art underneath. ...... .. .. ..ATMOSPHERE......god loves ugly.... ..Add To Cart.. .... Repackaged, remastered and uglier than ever, the critically acclaimed third official studio release from Atmosphere, God Loves Ugly, is back after being out of print for over a year. The God Loves Ugly re-issue also features a FREE bonus DVD. .... Originally released as the limited Sad Clown Bad Dub 4 (The Godlovesugly Release Parties) DVD, it features 2 hours of live performance footage, backstage shenanigans, several special guest appearances and music videos for "Godlovesugly", "Summersong" and "Say Shh". Out of print for years, this DVD has been repackaged in a custom sleeve that comes inserted in with the re-issue of God Loves Ugly. ...... .... ..JAKE ONE.... ....WHITE VAN MUSIC...... ..Add To Cart.. .... Seattle super producer and self proclaimed "perfect beat writer" Jake One steps from behind the boards to present his own debut full-length album, White Van Music. Polishing his production chops over the last decade, Jake One has crafted the musical soundscapes for everyone from De La Soul("Rock Co.Kane Flow" feat. MF DOOM) to 50 Cent ("All Of Me" feat. Mary J. Blige). With an impressive and diverse discography Jake One has managed to bring his sound from the underground to the Billboard Top 10 charts. .... Featuring an engaging cast of emerging underground artists as well as some of Hip Hop's most respected mainstream acts, Jake One's White Van Music will blur the so called lines between underground and mainstream Hip Hop... just as his stellar production career has. ....
