			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><div class="shr-publisher-543"></div><p>Le 17 février 2009 dans le but de stimuler l&#8217;économie américaine, le président Barack Obama signe un plan de relance plus connue sous le nom de &laquo;&nbsp;the stimulus package&nbsp;&raquo;. Le 16 février 2010, un personnage d&#8217;un tout autre genre, le rappeur américain Freeway veut relancer le mouvement hip hop outre atlantique et sort son troisième album studio, The Stimulus Package. Produit intégralement par le vétéran Jake One, The Stimulus Package réunit le travail le plus dynamique et le plus engagé du rappeur Freeway. La collaboration de ces deux poids-lourds signés sous le label indépendant Rhymesayers (Brother Ali, BK One entre autres&#8230;) nous promet d&#8217;ores et déjà un opus de grande qualité, un des albums les plus attendus de ce début d&#8217;année 2010.</p>
<p>Depuis ses débuts à Philadelphie en 2003 avec le label Roc-A-Fella et les 500.000 ventes de son album, Freeway a été présenté plusieurs fois comme le rappeur préféré de ton rappeur préféré. Depuis la sortie de son deuxième album &laquo;&nbsp;Free At Last&nbsp;&raquo; en 2007, incluant le classique produit par Jake One “It’s Over”, Freeway a aiguisé son flow et ses textes en enregistrant de nombreuses mixtapes, albums non-officiels, et sorties en ligne, tout en se produisant à travers les Etats-Unis dans plusieurs concerts.</p>
<p>Le package CD façon liasse de billets a été conçu par le designer Hip-Hop Brent Rollins de &laquo;&nbsp;Ego Trip fame&nbsp;&raquo; (voir le trailer ci-dessous).</p>

<h2>Biographie</h2>
<p>Brother Ali est un rappeur américain basé à Minneapolis, il est né à Madison (Wisconsin) et a passé son enfance en déménageant de ville en ville dans le &laquo;&nbsp;Midwest&nbsp;&raquo; (principalement dans le Michigan).<br />
Ali et sa famille se sont finalement installés à North Minneapolis, Minnesota en 1992. C&#8217;est dans la ville de North Minneapolis qu&#8217;il a embrassé l&#8217;Islam et a choisi le prénom Ali, son nom de naissance étant Jason Newman.<br />
Brother Ali habite aujourd&#8217;hui dans une maison à South Minneapolis où il travaille. Il a un fils du nom de Faheem de son premier mariage et un deuxième fils Jon Heimdal de son second mariage en 2008.</p>
<p>Brother Ali est né avec une maladie génétique rare appelée &laquo;&nbsp;Albinisme&nbsp;&raquo;. L&#8217;affection se caractérise par une absence de pigmentation de la peau, des poils, des cheveux, des yeux, due à l&#8217;absence de mélanine. Elle est généralement accompagnée de difficulté visuelles.<br />
Brother Ali vient d&#8217;une famille &laquo;&nbsp;blanche&nbsp;&raquo;, cependant il a été victime durant toute son enfance d&#8217;exclusion et de cruauté de la part de ses camarades de classe &laquo;&nbsp;blancs&nbsp;&raquo;, il explique alors s&#8217;être senti très tôt beaucoup à l&#8217;aise au sein de la communauté &laquo;&nbsp;noire&nbsp;&raquo;.<br />
Quand Ali a pris artistiquement son envol il a reçu de nombreuses questions sur ses origines ethniques, en effet du fait de son nom &laquo;&nbsp;Brother Ali&nbsp;&raquo; de nombreux chroniqueurs ont assumés qu&#8217;il était &laquo;&nbsp;noir&nbsp;&raquo;. Aux questions qui lui sont posées, Ali a toujours refusé de répondre.</p>
<p>Ali répond aux détracteurs dans la chanson &laquo;&nbsp;Daylight&nbsp;&raquo; de l&#8217;album &laquo;&nbsp;The Undisputed Truth&nbsp;&raquo; :</p>
<p>“They ask me if I’m black or white, I’m neither Race is a made up thing, I don’t believe in it But my genes tie me to those that despise me Made a livin’ killing the ones that inspired me I ain’t just talkin’ bout singing and dancing I was taught life and manhood by black men So a small part of me feels like I am them Does that make a liar? Maybe But I don’t want the white folk that praise me to think that they can claim me Cause you didn’t make me You don’t appreciate what I know to be great yet, you relate to me And that frustrates me and what can I say? Cause I know that I benefit from something I hate But make no mistake our connection ain’t fake It’s never too late to clear off the slate If you follow my tapes then you know what I’m about If something comes up then it must come out “</p>

<p>En 2003, Brother Ali sort son premier projet studio “Shadows On The Sun”. Il est rejoint cette fois par le producteur d&#8217;Atmosphere &laquo;&nbsp;Ant&nbsp;&raquo; qui a produit l&#8217;ensemble du projet. Malgré une faible couverture nationale, “Shadows On The Sun” a été fortement plébiscité par les fans de hip hop indépendant et les médias underground. Ali utilise “Shadows On The Sun” pour évoquer son enfance et son identité.</p>

<p>Brother Ali a souvent cité dans ses interviews avoir été inspiré par des artistes tels que KRS-One, Rakim et Kool G Rap.<br />
Dans une interview datant de 2007, voici la réponse mémorable qu&#8217;il a donné à une question sur l&#8217;industrie musicale actuelle :</p>
<p>&laquo;&nbsp;They just like to see something new. Like, we benefit so much right now from the fact that music sucks, and that, there&#8217;s so little originality. And there&#8217;s so few people that are really trying to do something a little bit different so that if you&#8217;re just even a little bit different&#8230; you know what I mean? People are just like &#8216;yeah,&#8217; you know. As long as you&#8217;re good and as long as you know how to present yourself, and you know. But I think that people are just happy to see something a little bit different for a change, you know.&nbsp;&raquo;</p>
