>I really like the use of piano in Brother Ali's the puzzle.

Do you listen to Atmosphere at all? Broth Ali and Atmosphere are on the same label, and the guy who does the production/beats (Ant) is the same for both. So you'll find a lot of those nice piano style beats on the later albums by Atmosphere like Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having and When Life Gives You Lemons.

This track comes to mind:

Atmosphere and Brother Ali are easily my favorite hip hop, but I'm biased cause they are from the Twin Cities and I get to see them live a couple times a year.
