The Truth Is Here is his second perfect disc in that many years and just earned a spot in my Top Five Alive column.
-
Ali can do this, can take the familiar, the overly confrontational, even the trite and overdone, and make it riveting, because he has a voice that strains syllables so that the meanings of his words are made perfectly clear--you can't escape what he's saying--and a flow that loads and unleashes relentlessly.
-
Whether this is your first foray into Ali’s catalog or you’re already a seasoned fan, there is no reason to not check this out.
-
Ali's lyrics and Ant's production have more to say in a few bars than most MCs and producers are able to in an entire song.
-
The EP serves its purpose quite well as it gives fans just enough to keep you craving a Brother Ali full length, but holds back enough so they will appreciate the full length once it arrives.
-
No one aspect of Ali's personality really dominates. The Truth Is Here is all the stronger for it, and that can only be considered a good sign.
