Two artists who released critically-acclaimed independent albums in 2009 are veteran Brother Ali and relative rookie Fashawn. The Minneapolis and Fresno emcees (respectively) are joining forces to promote their latest albums.
Ali’s Us followed up his Spring EP, and featured appearances from Chuck D, Joell Ortiz and more, with production courtesy of Atmosphere’s Ant. Fashawn’s debut, Boy Meets World, was produced entirely by Exile, and was recently released to bonus-track double vinyl.
Both albums were among HipHopDX’s Top 25 Albums Of 2009.
