One of the most respected independent voices in music, Brother Ali shares candid anecdotes about his creative process and describes the importance of spirituality in creating meaningful art.

In this interview, Brother Ali discusses what the touring lifestyle is like, how he grounds himself while traveling, and the importance of Islam in his life and in his creative pursuits. Ali describes his process for creating songs and albums, how he pushes himself to get out of his creative comfort zone, and the collaboration process with other artists and producers. Later in the interview, Ali dives deep into the role music and art has on informing the human experience and expression.

Over the last two decades, Brother Ali has earned critical acclaim for his deeply personal, socially conscious, and inspiring brand of hip-hop.

In January I had an amazing conversation with Brother Ali, then I had an [opposite of amazing] 2019.  But that's the beauty of timeless conversation; when you have the chance to learn from and build with true intelligence, the message is always on time.

Be fed, encouraged, and inspired by this conversation.  Shoutouts go to A Lone Highway Tutoring, BOBspotter, and Culture PHX; support black business.
