After two decades on stage, eight acclaimed albums, and mentorships with legends like Chuck D and Rakim, Brother Ali returns with one of his most introspective projects to date.
On Satisfied Soul, he reunites with producer Ant (of Atmosphere), joined by co-producer G Koop: a duo navigating freely between boom bap, psychedelic rock, and live instrumentation. The result is 17 tracks where Ali explores personal darkness, political clarity, and spiritual reconciliation with the quiet authority that’s made him a beloved voice in underground hip hop.
Released on Mello Music Group, the album moves from the autobiographical storytelling of Two Dudes to the jazz-blues grit of Name of The One, the thunder of Ocean of Rage, and the meditative reflections in Mysterious Things
“Human beings are mysterious things / It’s a body with a spirit that wiggles the strings.” This is hip hop for the soul. And Fasching has the honor of hosting it live.
