Brother Ali has announced the upcoming release of his fourth full-length album Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color, dropping August 21st.
For the project, the Rhymesayers Entertainment recording artist teamed up with producer Jake One, who helmed the entirety of the LP. Guests on the LP include Dr. Cornel West (“Letter to My Countrymen”), Bun B (“Need a Knot”) and Def Poetry Jam poet Amir Sulaiman (“Gather Round”).
In a press release, Brother Ali explained of the album, “This is not just a new album, but a new chapter. There’s a kind of democratic reawakening in people at this point in time. I was really looking to take these topics and really hit them hard. To try to open ears and hearts and invite people to take some action and feel empowered. To be engaged and take some agency and responsibility for what’s going on in the world.”
