Shadows on the Sun

by Brother Ali

Shadows on the Sun cover art

Produced entirely by label-mate Ant, the Minneapolis rapper's official debut is a profoundly vulnerable, fiercely articulate landmark of independent hip-hop. The brutally honest lyricism confronts themes of albinism, poverty, and religious faith against a backdrop of crisp, soulful boom-bap production.
