Rhymesayers Entertainment recording artist Brother Ali was featured on these pages here in 2013 and here in 2012 and way back in 2007. Listen to his classic song titled Uncle Sam Goddam (released in 2007) and you may see him as a real soothsayer, not just a rhymesayer.
His latest songs and music videos featured below continues the tradition with lyrical impressiveness and timeliness, besides being totally groovalicious. These songs are from his May 5, 2017 album release titled All The Beauty In This Whole Life.
These are Brother Ali's own words to describe the first music video below:
Very excited to present the video for Own Light, produced by my friend Dave Wilson. It was filmed in the Pacific Northwest and is dedicated to our recently departed brother and mentor, Jonathan Moore. Thank you to everyone who took part in this project and social thanks to Dr. Umar Faruq Abd-Allah for the introduction and inspiration.

I say peace when I jump on a beat
I say peace when I'm walking the street
(When I'm walking the street...)
I say peace when the sun's in the east
I say peace when I need a release
(When I need a release...)
I say peace when I'm facing the beast
I say peace when I'm taking you deep
(When I'm taking you deep...)
I say peace 'cause I know I'm complete
I say peace
I say peace
P is for the people
E is for the essence
A is for the answers that we get from God's questions
C is for the conscious
E is for the Earth
So everybody gotta stand up and find they worth,
A world divided will often fall to disease and violence
Gotta get through the shame and the silence so we can be united,
Only the righteous will overcome and become enlightened,
Living your life
Loving your self
So let the light in
One Love, One Blood, and One Heart
One People, One World, and One God
We gotta come together united for One Cause
Put your hands up in the air for peace!
(2X)
Peace worldwide starts from inside
We gotta find a better way that we can be (Be!)
Peace worldwide starts from inside
Go 'head and let your mind body soul be free (Free!)
Peace worldwide starts from inside
The answer and solution always starts with me (Me!)
Peace worldwide starts from inside
If you want to save the world,
Be the change you wanna see!
I gotta peace of mind
I gotta piece of paper
About to make a perfect rhyme that the world'll savor
Counting stars gazing past 2011
To 2012 infinity - 777
I hope we make it to heaven on earth
To see our brethren
Come back, resurrected
Bob Marley the Legend
It's One Love
And me and my people are all connected
For world peace
We gotta have a common collective
Martin taught us the lessons
Of how we should be respected and
Gandhi truly embodied the non-violent perspective
Global community unity maybe you and me
Can sit down build upon love 'cause it's what we need
Let's get to farming and feeding the people starving
Across the whole planet
What's going on is alarming
Sustainable living
We don't need their provisions
We can grow it pick it an eat it
That's the world I envision
On a mission to spread peace
All around the world
Like Chase, paint a face
Make a beautiful mural
Africa needs peace
Europe and South America
Asia and Australia
Do you believe in miracles?
'Cause it can happen if everybody would tap in
To all the love in their hearts
And everyone started laughing
Time for action
No time to explain
It takes 6 billion willing people to change
Now imagine if the words of John Lennon would come alive
And every body in the world started to unite
Realize
It ain't far fetched - we can do it
Come together for a cause do it with the music
Use it, take time and pursue it
Dreams and aspirations are all up to you
'Cause everybody in the world wanna get free
And everybody in the world, wants peace!
One Love, One Blood, and One Heart
One People, One World, and One God
We gotta come together united for One Cause
Put your hands up in the air for peace!

Here is a song that is a little bit like a nursery rhyme and a lot like a dream. A emerging independent artist named Samantha Preis created a eerily captivating original song titled Lost For Me. Her voice is so sensitive and fragile sounding, filled with emotions of memories as if it's "the end" or something as deep. It is a stellar delivery of a song that I prefer to hear turned up before simply closing my eyes to lay back and listen. But the video and the artist is beautiful to look at too. It appears that this may be her first real music video. If you are like me, you will listen and watch this more than once and it may grow on you. For all music supervisors tuning in, consider this as a soundtrack for the right feature film.

In a time when few artists and bands have anything meaningful to say with regard to bringing about revolutionary change, it does not hurt to flash back to actual changemakers and revolutionaries who would be raising hell if they were still here today.

A artist who seems to be vastly unknown by the name of Rafter and his track entitled Fruit. The video below is not the original version Lee played. That can be found on Rafter's MySpace page music player. But this custom mix of the song along with this awesome video made by artist, Dax Norman., is great.
