:: Brother Ali in Montreal ::

I know its 2am and I should be passed out, but I just got back from the Brother Ali show that went down tonight at Foufounes Electriques.
I have been a fan of Brother Ali for the past few years but had never had the opportunity to see him live. I was very impressed at how good he was live, with amazing stage presence and great sound. I am always a little weary of going to hip hop shows just because many of the artists often sound completely different live vs. on their albums, but Brother Ali truly is the real deal.
On stage he really gives off a positivity and "Joie de Vivre" that couldn't stop me from thinking that I was in a gospel church filled with people praising his songs.
He has a new album entitled "US" that came out a few monts ago that is worth a listen, and if he is in your town, GO to the show, its worth it.
