Giveaway: Five Pairs of Tickets to Tonight's Brother Ali Gig at the Granada



It's been over a year since Brother Ali stopped through Dallas. Last time he came through, it was for a show at The Door in support of his 2007 release, The Undisputed Truth, which, in my opinion, was among both the best hip-hop and overall releases of that year.

Now Ali's back--both for a gig at the Granada tonight and with a new album, Us, in tow, which, as Loren Green explains in this week's paper, is a less vitriolic release than Ali's last:
Instead of pointing vitriol at society's snakes, he takes a positive look at his life, family and friends.

And, if his last stop through town is any proof, tonight should make for quite the high-energy, thought-provoking show--a must-see for area hip-hop heads.

Could be you, too--if you're among the first five to email me right now with the words "Take Me Home" in the subject line, you'll get a pair of tickets. It's that simple. Good luck!

Update: Contest is over. Congrats to our winners.
