Even though Brother Ali is currently touring in Europe after an extensive run through the states, he's coming back to this side of the Atlantic for more dates in the coming months. And this time, he is joined by one of California's best new MCs, Fashawn, who dropped his very fine debut, Boy Meets World, late last year. Ali is still promoting his killer 2009 effort Us, which I personally felt was the best album of '09. Anyway, check the tour dates below. And I strongly advise checking a show out if it comes around your city or town. Ali is one of hip-hop's best performers and, from what I've seen, Fashawn can hold his own, too.

I hope I can make the Providence show. Tuesday nights suck for me, though. Hmph
dudes playing a Friday set at the mod club, could not have been more ideal pour moi.
Damn you. I really want to see how Fash is live for myself and I would love to hear BK-One spin some of his newer stuff.
