Background: Brother Ali
Today, we've got Brother Ali, an albino/legally blind rapper. It is my opinion that he is the second best white rapper, after Eminem, and he tackles the issue of his race/color on the track Picket Fence, which we covered the last time around on the Hip-Hop Daily. Today, I brought you something different, a story-telling track, rather than such a personal one. Some of you might've heard of Brother Ali from Madden 2008, but his past material off of Shadows of the Sun are much better than what you heard.
The Track: Dorian, from the Shadows of the Sun album

The concept - Ali confronts his neighbor, Dorian, and proceeds to describe it rather vividly...I won't talk too much more about the track, because I want you to listen and hear the twisted ending
Also check out: The Undisputed Truth (album) Be warned, I don't like that album as much, personally.
The Breakdown:
Lyrics
No highlight, I don't want to spoil the story. I picked this song over Forrest Whitiker due to it's bumping bass line, which I thought you guys would appreciate more. Great storytelling, but I didn't think it was his BEST lyrical effort (This dude spits insane). All in all, solid track that I felt you guys would appreciate, though Picket Fence was also in the running.
