For the third straight album, Ant of Atmosphere is solely handling production duties for Brother Ali. The collaboration between the two Rhymesayers artists started with 2003's Shadows on the Sun and continued on 2007's The Undisputed Truth, eventually making Brother Ali one of the most recognizeable names in the Midwest underground hip hop scene. While Ali is mostly know for his hard-hitting incendiary tracks, the lead single, which is also titled "Us," is a soulful, organ-based tune that recalls some of Ali's more introspective work, such as "Forest Whitaker" and "Rain Water." The album includes guests spots from Chuck D, Joell Ortiz, Freeway and fellow Minnesota native, Stokley Williams, lead singer of Mint Condition.
