"Us" is the title track of Brother Ali's fourth album, which Rhymesayers Entertainment released on September 22, 2009, and the beat comes from Ant, who produced that record from the first track to the last. Ali brings company this time, with Stokley credited as a guest vocalist.
The album it named drew raves across the board. PopMatters' Andrew Martin gave it a perfect ten and said it was hard to focus on anything but Ali's words and Ant's beats while it played, Pitchfork's Nate Patrin called it the most thought-provoking work of Ali's career, and the A.V. Club put it at number nine among the best albums of 2009.
