"Ali" by Mustafa

Mustafa is the Sudanese Canadian poet-turned-rapper that you need to have on your radar this year. His latest release, "Ali", is a heartfelt tribute to a friend who passed away back in 2017. It'll be featured on his upcoming album, When Smoke Rises, which is set for release in May this year.

On 31 March, Mustafa shared a snippet of the video on his Instagram, accompanied by a powerful caption: "'Ali' out everywhere, it'll never be easy & it'll never be filled but we can honour the void, how vast it is, what it once was before it was emptied, what was left there by their memory, preserve the beauty of the people you lost, exhume those bodies, the weight you're carrying can become whatever you want it to be; if you only begin to understand it, exhume those bodies, may God have mercy on everyone we lost before we had a chance to say goodbye, Ali forever."
