Brother Ali, Evidence, Toki Wright, and BK-One at Ogden TheatreThe fact that Jason “Brother Ali” Newman is the rising star of eminent indie-rap label Rhymesayers is incidental—the MC has a voice that booms above any number of brooding barkers, and a fierce live presence that’s packing rooms tighter than ever. That said, Ali’s not afraid to agitate: His song “Uncle Sam Goddamn” drew ire from corporate sponsors with controversial lines like “Shit, the government’s the addict / with a billion-dollar-a-week kill-brown-people habit.” He plays here behind his new EP, The Truth Is Here.Ogden Theatre 935 E Colfax Ave, Denver/Boulder, CO
