Brother Ali - Shine On feat. Nikki Jean (Official Video)

[@NeverEndingHeavensM]

Can’t believe this dropped 10 years ago and it’s still bangin like it just came hot off the press 👌🏽

[@FerdiaMooney]

How can anyone be consistently this good?! Unbelievable

[@Kevinbrown6969]

before this video came out i used to listen to this song and the words would paint this exact video in my head, when i first saw it it was like i had seen it before. thats how you know the storytelling is on point

[@RickeyTaylorBeats]

+Kevin Brown hell yea, storytellin is the best rap

[@beatflyy]

That happened to me with Hunger games. I read the book and then when I saw the movie it was almost just like I pictured it.

[@jeffw9465]

true

[@ProjectHard]

This is most likely the most chilling, touching and lovely rap song ever. And we all love our Brother. Big ups from Denmark, love this music :)

[@NajeeAdderley]

I just remembered I love dis from a long time ago

[@MsSteph187]

i'm from Switzerland and I think Nikki Jean should be more famous...she's amazing

[@jojacksondelacruz4017]

"Damn it feels good to see people up on it" much love to Nikki Jean & that lovely beautiful voice of hers...Brother Ali sure as hell is much obliged for that as well

[@briancornell7296]

Parted her lips and turned crabcakes to shakespeare.. Fucking lyrical genius

[@Daluris]

Yes! A masterful command of language, with a yarn spun by one of the realest storytellers alive. What a beautiful notion on seizing beautiful opportunities, living in the moment whilst staying true to oneself, and savoring life!

[@SkyKlinic]

Haven't heard Storytelling as smooth as this in Hip Hop since Mos Def Official did Ms Fat. Booty!!

[@victoriaappiagei1482]

Dope music awesome Cool good Listen wow poet

[@TheColdHeartedSoul]

True story bro.

[@MART0Ss]

Ms fat booty one of my fav storytells

[@randyd.3429]

Don’t forget about Chi town owns “Common” formerly known as "Common Sense", please don’t sleep on him, he been doing the same thing as “Brother Ali” since the early 90’s..💯

[@rhondasilver3582]

CLASSIC..

[@jinz132497]

I'm gonna start calling Brother Ali Midas because everything he touches turns to gold

[@GoodxJ]

Thank you Ali for making all this beautiful music. Brother Ali is the greatest rapper of all time. TRUTH.

[@ceascarr9851]

As a hip hop artist I am in awe at the depth of brother Ali and his material thank you for bringing class back to our craft we SALUTE you.....PEACE And LIGHT To YOU AND YOURS.....

[@QueenCraftsChannel]

This STILL hard af in 2020!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Whose here with me?

[@SkyHigh5280]

Brother Ali is a great example of why I love rap.

[@SpAsianRawr]

Not only is Brother Ali a gifted lyricist, but he's also a great actor. Is Rhymesayers lucky to have Brother Ali or is Brother Ali lucky to have Rhymesayers?? Pftt, It goes both ways. But most importantly, WE the people are BLESSED to have y'all.

[@madddogg612]

Every time I listen to Brother Ali I get closer to God.

[@FIREFLY071]

My friend just turned me on to Brother Ali and I was like, "Where in the hell have I been?!". Obviously, talent and poetic skills for days. Love the classy, grown-folks touch. Definitely will fill my car with these sounds rollin' across the bridges to Spanish Harlem and Brooklyn. Crazy NY days, Brother Ali- rhymes the stresses away. LIKE!

[@learntwostruggle]

I am Muslim and a member of the black community and I agree with you. That is point of his message: No one race, religious or ethnic group has a monopoly on joy, pain, self-consciousness, idiocy, or genius. We believe we come from the same Creator and therefore are related.

[@threepennyg]

The flow here..."But when I saw you I sort of knew I had to talk to you // And nothing in my arsenal seemed possible //So I called an audible, Serve you? I'm honored to// I didn't mean to bother you, // I just want to watch a few Moments of your life much like a fly on a wall would do" Hot diggidy Jam - Ali is just too much.

[@joelvarela7335]

So underrated.

[@BeyondtheObjective]

Rhymesayers have the strongest label right now! Brother Ali, Atmosphere, Grieves, The late Eyedea, MF Doom, P.O.S and so much solid artists!

[@_Jake.From.Statefarm_]

uhh... Aesop Rock. LOL

[@rsgthelarge1]

Brother Ali is a genius...every album, every song, every concept, every bar is outstanding. Amazingly deep artist!

[@sikelturko]

Brothe Ali = one of the most underrated mc's from the USA. Good rap with no need of naked girls, gold rings or pimped cars... JUST WORDS

[@Rimdoggg74]

One Of The Greatest Ever!!! You Go Brother Ali!!! Midwest White Folks said this

[@bigarj2]

Brother Ali is an emcee! Nuff said. Respect.

[@TheJaspa85]

The way Ali ended the music video was smooth. All he wanted was to make her day!!!.

[@MrKing8050]

there is no doubt about it this guy is one of the best story tellers in hiphop

[@TrueAbstraK]

Brother Ali that dude. Underground music lives on

[@drcphd]

Brother Ali ... Still dope after 8 years of listening.

[@makeyourownbiscuits]

10 years later and this is still just as dope as it was when it first dropped. I wish this had millions of views. I hate the short life span on music there needs to be a way to bring records like this back to life.

[@SlaeJay]

Lol they always come back

[@RealSaneTV]

Brother Ali puts it down like all ways.. He just wanted to prove he could get her without needing to go further with great visuals in his lyrics.

[@Origin541]

doood ALI is the smoooooothest mac of the year for this one!!

[@ANG1940]

I cant stop listening to this! Been on repeat all week! Brother Ali and the whole Rhymesayers crew are the best! Underground > Mainstream

[@mileyvx2100]

Rhymesayers forever... what a jam.

[@MCM_Savage]

Respect! 💯🔥🔥👊🎭

[@silkee12]

this brother ali is so original!..im downloading all his videos now...i just discovered him by mistake looking for another artist.glad I did!

[@violaguy2]

Essence of hiphop; art of storytelling, rhyme scheme, word play, flow, lyrics...etc. I hear a voice out of the masses...I learned something. Thanks for posting this

[@JamesTMx]

Just discovered Brother Ali today, but I have to say he might be one of the top Hip Hop artists I listen to from now on.

[@Funkyphresh]

wow lost of words after hearing this song ...this is beautiful music right here.

[@DWeezy906]

Brother Ali , Give this guy respect. Great song , I enjoyed it.

[@gravityjunkie47]

Brother Ali knocks another one out of the park! Great song and vid. Peace!

[@SpAsianRawr]

The first time i heard this i honestly kept it on replay for like 20 times in a row. The beat is smooth and Ali is so damn clever, therefore a hip hop baby was instantly created, and people will forever talk about this baby :)

[@climbingjohn]

each and every time the Brothers steps up, he kills it. 4 albums and 2 EP's and ive never skipped a track. thankyou Ali you make my world a better place

[@mattchibi]

Respect to Brother Ali and the rest of Rhymesayers, appreciate the movement!

[@WaterOnDaBrain]

Anything Ali touches instantly turns to platinum. I'm happy to add some new tracks to the rotation, can't wait for monday.

[@BigTerri9128]

Dis is my favorite joint off dis mixtape! Dis shit is sooooooooooooooo creative & funny all at da same time!! We need more MC's like Ali

[@FLoWThAGreAt]

mad love to brother ali. all his songs hit the nail on the head

[@Dominosmusic]

beautifully artistic and genius.

[@MrJohnson911]

This should a lot more views then it actually has... not just for the song but for video! This is the type of hip-hop that should be played on radio.

[@D4C0WG035M00]

Greatest Rapper Alive... Brother Ali... Legend

[@BeatzByHeart]

Brother Ali never disappoints. Been a fan for years. This couldn't have come at a better time. So refreshing. Track is smooth as butter.

[@jdog5002]

[@trumanbeatz]

[@221MagicMan]

I've listened to this song soooo many times, and never gotten sick of it

[@idealreelz]

I've listened to this track like a 100 time already soooo dope. I've been waking up with this track in my thoughts. I love the evolution of the style. This song gives me a wonderful content feeling. The entire disc is just brilliant. And it's free wow!!! Can't wait for PAID DUES this year!!!

[@Trippp1994]

Scince ive found Rhymesayers a few years ago i havent found many songs i listen to multiple times in a row, due to the fact theirs so many other great songs and artist, but this is a true piece of art, above the rest, great work.

[@jhazemusic]

substance, poetry, well written story... what more could you ask for? i love it Brother

[@fookausername]

i am soo glad i found this guy cause i had completely given up on hip hop! this is 1 of many examples of what true hip-hop talent is!

[@dhh72386]

Man! Brother Ali is possibly one of the best story tellers in hiphop. Also one of my favorites haha! Hip hop ain't your home, and if it is you f*ckin up the crib son! Oh and hiphop ain't dead, it's buried in the undergroud.

[@Bighhead]

🔥🔥

[@soulchorea]

THIS WAS BRILLIANT.

[@BlanketTruth22]

[@mlody900]

Brother doin` it again! Great song !

[@joeycrow]

cmon this is the greatest pick in history. never heard something described so intellectually before

[@BongDylan]

What a poet. Can't wait for his new drop.

[@Stranger.]

I appreciate the free dl, thanks. Still have to support Rhymesayer artists by buying albums and attending shows. Don't Pirate music you love.

[@ballsaf]

Brother Ali is for real, straight up

[@keefuslentulus8204]

Timeless. Class

[@freeski08]

soooo stoked for his album on monday!

[@ShinbrigTV]

Rhymesayers, u have all the good rappers

[@714gutierrez1]

BROTHER ALI NEVER FAILS!

[@127chefster]

Brother Ali never ceases to amaze me. The man has got more talent in his little finger than most of the artists putting out that bullshit main stream rap together. I hope to continue to see work coming from Brother Ali and from Rhymesayers as a whole.

[@biggcebo]

This my jawn right here

[@Mychal19901221]

Brother Ali having writer's block? Releasing this EP in February and a full album in March like a boss...

[@2sdd]

Brotha, YOU ARE MY HERO!

[@brollan1234]

Brother Ali is such a ridiculously beautiful character. I sometimes laugh in envy of his fundamentally beautiful nature. Big up, brother!

[@ChrisWinkley]

Love this track.

[@boto8309]

This type of story telling reminds me of Murs and atmosphere. Love it.

[@RastaToad]

So ready for this EP and his new Album. The past year and the next year are awesome years for hip hop (underground).

[@SuperBombsquad2010]

To be honest i really never listened to brother ali but this song is has that lyrical flow. Good shit ALI....
