Brother Ali & Jake One – Left In The Deck [Album Stream]

As we embark on the War And Peace Tour with my brother, Immortal Technique, I’m excited to release a new musical project. “Left In The Deck” is a collection of 10 raw, grimy recordings made in basements and hotel rooms around the world. This demo-tape style release was produced entirely by Jake One. It hasn’t been polished up for the market or cleaned for the radio. These songs were left in their original demo form and are intended only for my family of direct supporters. The beats are grimy and I feel like this is some of the best rhyming I’ve ever captured on tape. I want to release this directly to you. You can stream here, and for all those kind enough to buy any Brother Ali shirt on the War And Peace Tour this fall, you’ll also receive a digital download card of the album with your purchase. If the tour isn’t coming to your city or you don’t want to wait, don’t worry you can get the music immediately when you pre-order the “Cassette” shirt from Fifth Element. Peace, Love and Power! See you soon, and thank you for your support. – Brother Ali Tracklist Side A Dial Tone Grandma And Them Digital Age Never Stoppin’ Not A Day Goes By Side B Well Okay Steerange Phantom Of The Opera Rapper Thing Devil’s Arms
