Well this was one helluva nice surprise for Brother Ali fans. Out of nowhere, the Rhymesayers MC lets fly a 10-track project produced by Jake One. The tape coincides with the start of Ali’s War & Peace tour with Immortal Technique. If you attend one of the shows and purchase a t-shirt, you’ll get a free digital download of Left in the Deck. For everyone else, you can stream it below. Here’s Ali‘s statement on the project:

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.
