Midwest hip hop fans come together. Give me an A! Give me an L! Give me an I! Now take out that calendar and leave a big block open from 5 to 6:30 on Thursday, Nov. 19 Using a sharpened, number two pencil, write your destination: The Exclusive Co. on State St. for a free in-store signing with none other than Brother Ali.
The Minneapolis native will be making a stop in Madison on his Fresh Air tour, and will pay an early visit to The Exclusive Co. (near the corner of State and Gilman) to sign autographs and talk to you, the fans.
The Exclusive Co. expects a turnout of up to 150 people, which would make for a very crowded shop. Get your posters, CDs and scraps of paper together and come early or prepare to wait outside.
By the way, tickets are still available for his Thurs. night show at the Barrymore. Tickets are $15 advance, $18 day of show, but the signing is free.
