Brother Ali @ Knitting Factory

Written by Lib & Photos by SMKjr Monday, 19 April 2010 18:54

Brother Ali performed at Brooklyn’s Knitting Factory last week and it was a sure fire delivery. He is definitely one of Rhymesayers top dogs and carries himself well onstage. I’ve seen dude a handful of times and he definitely has developed as a person and artist over the years. He has consistently given better and better performances every time he hits the stage.

He rocks the mic with a refreshing sense of consciousness and I’d like to think it is instilled into the crowd but most people don’t really listen. Hittin’ us with joints from all his works over the years and with passion. Most heads will agree with me that anytime you got an Emcee who can kill it at show with no hype man you got talent. Brother Ali is a master storyteller that keeps the crowd fully engaged. With truly poetic verses and a gospel type performance, you can’t help but feel the emotions spillin’ outta this cat. Not to mention he’s got BK-One on the decks behind him who recently dropped an album with all kinds of dopeness on it. Homeboy closed his set with “Fresh Air” from his latest that lets us all know how content he is with his life at this juncture.

To end the show, Ali was joined by Fashawn, Poison Pen and Immortal Technique for a little freestyle session. All dudes had some decent rhymes but Immortal Technique was definitely shining in that bout. Followed by Brother Ali with the traditional Zulu Nation goodbye…Peace! Peace! Peace! Thanks fellas.

Video: Banksy in LA...stolen

Written by SMKjr Thursday, 15 April 2010 17:03

Well, with the new Banksy film premiering in LA and NYC recently you have to expect some new Banksy pieces to appear. So far LA has had two new pieces so far. But, you better hustle because some rich gallery owner out in LA already had one piece cut out and carted away. Jet Graffiti has the full story and the video of the piece being carted away. Nobody should support this joker and his wack Ace Galley (the owner's name is Doug Christmas). Full story here.
