Brother Ali - Breakin' Dawn (Official Video)

[@justinwight2051]

This is my favourite song. Ever. Makes me feel strong.

[@xelefonte]

you're kidding right? it's not even one of brother ali's 20 best songs, let alone favorite song ever by any artist

[@billycaves]

xele fonte “Best song” is entirely subjective. Don’t let that be what you judge a song on. If it hits someone, it’s a great song for that person.

RHYMESAYERS: BEST LINE UP IN THE GAME. THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG. BROTHER ALI YOU NEVER LET ME DOWN.

[@jovanigomez3625]

I thank GOD for brother Ali!!! A living Legend!!! 🙏🏽

[@MrJeChou]

3:05 Best piece of lyricism in recent memory: "In those last moments a few word were spoke; I used to peak at this old house in awe, imagining what it must be like and all, and it's the finest spread these eyes ever saw, but i don't mid saying i feel sorry for y'all. All that gettin, so little givin, let a lot of y'all to forget whats missin. built you a big pretty prison to sit in, strut around here convinced that that's livin." Soooo good!!

[@Steely_Fran]

Brother Ali is such a dope lyricist. I always liked the 2nd verse in his song "Good Lord": Something spiritual happen when them hands get to clappin', Can you tell me, what language do you laugh in? The human reaction of smiles and cries, What language are the tears when they're fallin' from your eyes? You've probably seen the sunrise hundreds of times, But let a painter paint it or a poet describe, The very moment where heaven and Earth might collide, And God let the breath of life come outside, Uh, Satan doubted it, angels bowed to it, I'm so beautifully human and I'm proud of it, Soul of a soldier, heart of a scholar, I wrote this poem with the blood of a martyr.

[@milehighronin9709]

No matter how many times I hear this song, or any of his other songs, I get those goosebumps.

[@CH-ns4gv]

Straight up chills every fuckin time

[@AxMxF151]

i like how ali doesn't need autotune to sound amazing and catchy, he has true talent. lyrics, voice and all

[@strangewayfaringstranger]

This was the first song that really turned me onto Brother Ali. And I never stopped loving him. Good music with a righteous message.

[@ThePunkweazel]

Found Brother Ali today and have loved everything I have heard. Amazing !

[@Mooiniet]

+ThePunkweazel same here bro

[@ValerieStokes-e7u]

Wish I could find that family who would love and want me. Dear Lord please show me the way to that love.

[@manu135713]

The thing I love about underground hip-hop is that only the true lovers of the genre come to listen, leaving ignorant people to mainstream artists. Thus, the non-existing dislike bar.

[@lenape751]

Beast song. Much like old school music, there was a story to tell, a meaning to learn. Music as good as this is rare anymore. Brother ali is a beast.

[@mathewnorris5008]

Brother Ali, that song was a beautiful ballad. My first impressions of you was "here's another white man trying to be black but now I've listened I owe you an apology, cos you ain't trying to be black, your just trying to be you, just trying to be a good man and just trying to do the right thing. Much love and respect ali, you are a true inspiration of n the way how you've reminded me that I should be just trying to do the same. Peace

[@snoop83088]

Mathew Norris hes not white hes an albino

[@Oneshotup]

mike he is but I thought his racial background was white...

[@milehighronin9709]

Mad Respect for admitting your error and learning from it. I highly recommend seeing Brother Ali live. I saw him last year at Red Rocks, to hear him in person is truly life changing. You can feel his energy, it's nothing but positive, this man saved my life.

The Brother Will Always Be With Us.

[@heijahup]

I'm from Minnesota, we really love art and lakes. You can take an album, from Rhymesayers, and run it up the Gunflint Trail, and learn something about the world. We want MPLS to be something special, because we care..

[@ce1lo]

When i'm listening to Brother Ali, when i REALLY listen there's this thing about it that makes it different from regular music. Its real poetry, it's raw and its straight from the soul. Ali goes father than i thought anyone else could in truly expressing themselves in music. In the future its not going to be drake and lil wayne that will be remembered its gonna be ali and all the other rhymesayers

[@djflatline86]

POWERFUL SHIT!! Always loved this track but this video brings it closer to home. I want Ali & Slug to collab on an album someday.

[@LA123176]

That first verse is magnificent

[@Datharlas]

Brother Ali always has the most wicked beats

[@bboyjoe93]

Brother Ali !!! As always preaching truth and humanity... Ali thanks man you inspire me :D keep doing what you do

[@d-evilmc]

Am also just starting to hear this guy. Hes got a raw and fresh sound. Another one to add to the collection of raw underground hip hop can listen to non stop and nod my way through my day.

[@keithgoslin1196]

Higher. Infinite. Power. Healing. Our. People.

[@Spectre4392]

i only heard him for the first time the other day. He has already become one of my favourite rappers of all time.

[@gray4709]

I can't wait for his new album too drop!!!!

[@draukdootwa7516]

When I listen to this song it makes me think of slaves in a field working and singing from the heart about their hardships they’ve endured in their life..

[@mariabaldridge]

Chill down, bed time, sleep away the pain music. Damn.

[@SpaceRunaway96]

Last Comment was 7months ago? damn, thats sad. More people need Ali in their lives

[@fredericfrancois7978]

j'ai découvert ce morceau samedi en attendant l'ouverture des portes pour le concert de texas sur une petite radio locale.et bien qu'étant pas trop branché hiphop,je suis obligé de m'incliner devant tant de talent.

[@Litasty]

Damn this beat is dank as hell. The artwork in the video is way sick too. Hands down my favorite Brother Ali song.

[@mxsthigh4823]

This Guy Really Have The Blackest Soul Ive Seen Of Any White Rapper

Glad to see I'm not the only black (chick) who thinks that!

tj54441 Albinism isnt a race

[@tj54441]

Neil Pups but we dont know what he would be if he wasnt albino possibly a brown

[@ConstantDreadxxx]

tj54441 His family is white. He's caucasian

[@skyhigh5442]

This was nicely made . Who ever came up with this idea is a genius

[@neomixxx1]

Three words in the Dictionary, Inclusion, Equality and Diversity. All three words should have next to them.... Description ---> Ask Brother Ali, he wont just explain, he'l teach you how to feel it through his music. Brother Ali speaks as everyone's voice no matter who or what they say we are, No matter where we come or came from. World wide love for every one of us right hear with him. I hope it spreads as quick as hate does. The whole world having our back's in no time.

[@clarencejones07]

i just got finished readin a book that has great quotes from Brother Ali detailing how he writes his lyrics and makes his music, dope read, the book's title= HOW .TO. RAP all the best underground cats are in there, J5, Dilated, Aesop, and classic dudes, Tribe, PE, Pharoahe, Kane, etc. ...incredible book

This beat was made by ANT, the same dude that does the beats for Atmosphere. Ali's new album is produced by Jake One so i expect it will be a little different.

[@honeybadgerThirteen]

Great song

[@iggoz]

Beautiful!!

[@Invictus901]

This song makes a whole helluva lot more sense if you look at the "leper" child as a metaphor for a mixed baby. It very much explains why the master excluded him from the family and why the slaves were totally okay with accepting him.

[@melindababineaux4415]

Thanks captain obvious

[@Invictus901]

Melinda Babineaux No need to be rude :(

[@johnadams7534]

I'm pretty sure the child is Ali, white people didn't accept him in school so he hung out with the black community. Wrote some songs and was introduced to elite, and realized that wasn't all it was made up to be.

[@ballarroque]

the point of art is it says what you want it to say

[@pepperjack91]

incredible

song gives me chilles every time preach on ali !!!!!!

For anyone who doesn't know Brother Ali's story. This song is about him growning up

[@benmyrick]

Well done!

Don't feel bad. I use the net to find new music constantly. I always purchase music that connects with me. I even paypalled a guy 5 bucks to pirate his music off you tube.

lovely video, really ill beat, and Brother Ali on top of it. Thanks

[@wphilmore]

Great music

[@kylemccormack1785]

This is literally a song about an old slave owner inviting a young black boy into the house and getting an ear full at the decadence they lived in. And somehow, the comments are not a clusterfuck flame war. We need more of this.

[@Glocks21]

True Rap @THEREALRHYMESAYERS Much love.
