    I’m 17 years old. I’ve been going through a lot lately in this world. I’m confused and Ik my priorities aren’t right. I’m leaning on to god like I have b4. But this time. I feel heartbroken. I’ve never wanted to live like he’s right next to me. I’ve never read a book by myself. I love to write though. Im starting a new journey. And brother Ali thank you for you’re words of encouragement to clear my mind of what I should do with the loved ones that I’ve hurt. Even my mom. Thank you Ali!

    Yo Ali I just came across the travelers podcast and I’m from Philly so of course started with Paz but to have RA, Technique, and all the others I haven’t listened to yet, it’s amazing. Especially for peeps such as myself that got to grow up in the 90’s during the best time in underground hip hop imo. I’ve really enjoyed listening to these conversations with some of the most talented artists in hip hop including yourself. Keep on keeping on. 🎧🎤🎶

    Yo what’s up Ali, congrats on another dope episode. Like all of your previous guests, R.A. definitely deserves all props given, he’s a HipHop legend. On another note, if there’s any way you can combine two of my favorite podcasts, yours & Super Duty Tough Work with Blueprint & Illogic, that would be insanely dope. I imagine that conversation would have us all laughing & learning the entire time. Peace

    Hay, Brother Ali, Had no idea to let you know because no shit... But years ago my parents saw you at a show, the Grouch stole Christmas... They got an autograph from you and told you that they're kid (me) was sad they didn't get to go because it was not an all ages venue. As they tell it, you laughed as you gave your autograph and told them to tell me you were going to be doing live shows for years to come, and that I need not worry. Well, I've seen you live twice now, most recently when you came to my home town of Bellingham. I know it's dumb, but I wanted to say thank you for all the years and dedication you've put in. I know you probably love it, but that doesn't mean it's not work. So thank you

    Made my morning with this one brother, yet another great guest to have on. Your quickly building an incredible catalogue of conversation for everyone to enjoy and learn from. Just wanted to tell you that every episode is hugely appreciated 💪🏽 For me personally, You, RA, vinnie and Tech are my 4 biggest inspirations in and out of the realm of music and the fact that I get to hear you all converse gives me something to look to in my time of need. Thank you Ali ❤️

      @@BrotherAli_Travelers Wow, didn't expect a reaction from the brother himself on this 8 month old video.
      Anyway, if R.A. is ever looking for some more grit on any of his songs he could try to get in touch with Archspire, their singer/rapper is amazing.
      I think R.A. would love their videos as well, lots of practical gore effects in them.

      @@ETAisNOW Cool story bro. I watched it a few times. Tim Pool was shook, I rewound it multiple times and we were laughing at the look in his eyes. He's so slow he didnt even catch on to the slang RA was using with "that guy" even tho it was contextually obvious what he meant. Anyways You're late for your ceremonial fellatio performance on Ronald Reagan's corpse and the chief of police at The Apollo, and if there's time i heard you're gonna do Mussolini and Hitler's corpses. Then later you can go home and rage in Tim Pool's comments when he vaguely questions Kanye's nazi propaganda.

    I remember going to an RA show when he slapped my friend in the front of the stage show for no reason or perhaps because RA was intoxicated. Thus we tried to snatch him off stage to stomp him. He realized this was happening and never came more than 5 feet from the front of the stage.
    I'm glad you kinda grew up RA. Quit slapping 15 year old kids.
