Minneapolis rap veteran Brother Ali returned in October with the deeply personal single “Sensitive.” The song features a repeating phrase from Erykah Badu, “Keep in mind that I'm an artist, I'm sensitive about my sh*t,” while Ali reminisces on his legacy - both the successes and pitfalls he’s endured over his 17-year career.
“Sensitive' deals with the reality that artists are often times faced with self doubt and a deep sense that the world isn't hearing us as we'd like to be heard,” Ali previously said of the song in a press release. :This one was made at a time when I'd taken too long to release new music, had medical trouble with my voice and felt like I'd alienated fans with my political statements. Typical 'tortured artist' vibe that not many people talk about in hip-hop, but we all experience it on one level or another."
Brother Ali recently wrapped up his Shadows of the Sun anniversary tour, which saw the rapper perform his celebrated sophomore record from 2003 in full. Watch the video for “Sensitive” below.
