It’s Kinfolk,” Ali exclusively told Vibe.com. “I think you’re going to get a great album. It’s almost like a Midwest, Southern mixture, just like a gumbo. There’s nobody on this record that doesn’t belong, there’s no forced issues. Everything out there came about because it was meant to be.” right Kinfolk puts Ali & Gipp alongside the likes of David Banner, Three 6 Mafia, the rest of the St. Lunatics, Cee-Lo, Bun B and Pimp C of UGK and Juvenile.
