Brother Ali returns to the spot with another sweet enchanting touch off his latest album. a introspective piece and look into what it would be like to be born 'albino'. Music is super sweet for its abilities to transcend and also allow us to 'feel' what others walked...or as the saying goes ..walk a mile in someone else's shoes. The chorus rings or resonates as well " Somebody Pray for me " , as i seem to have a lot of these type of souls , urging me on from the ethers lol while all artists put some of themselves into their music, Brother Ali is an artist who’s never been afraid to show his entire true self through his music. This is a tremendous part of what makes Brother Ali’s latest album All the Beauty in This Whole Life so fascinating. “Pray For Me,” arguably one of the most impactful tracks on the album. While Brother Ali starts the track by remembering his eight-year-old self as a target of the unfathomable cruelty of other children (“A eight-year-old expert determined I’ve got AIDS / A vote must’ve been taken, it became my name / I mean literally, AIDS is my name, okay?”), “Pray For Me” eventually becomes a story with a happy ending. “Your living is the proof, just let it do what it do / Now watch them follow suit and try to catch up to you,” he says, while eventually conceding that “Somebody musta prayed for me.” It’s a song that goes from horror to sadness, forgiveness, and redemption, all in less than four minutes.
