In a press release, Brother Ali explained of the album, “This is not just a new album, but a new chapter. There’s a kind of democratic reawakening in people at this point in time. I was really looking to take these topics and really hit them hard. To try to open ears and hearts and invite people to take some action and feel empowered. To be engaged and take some agency and responsibility for what’s going on in the world.” Check the artwork below, and pre-order the album over at Rhymesayers. brother (June 19) UPDATE: According to UGHH.com, the tracklist for Brother Ali's Mourning In America And Dreaming In Color is as follows: 1.
