Along with the standard version, a remix version of the song, featuring singer Alicia Keys and rapper Eve, was released as the first single from the album.

Music video

The music video for "Brotha", directed by Chris Robinson features cameos by Will Smith, Calvin Richardson, Luther Vandross, Sinbad, Avant and Larenz Tate, and it honors male leaders such as Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Marvin Gaye, Muhammad Ali and Colin Powell.

Part II

"Brotha" was officially remixed with vocals from American rapper Eve and singer Alicia Keys. Produced by Stone, Keys and musician Kerry "Krucial" Brothers, J Records liked the remix so much that it was rushed to include the track on Stone’s album. "Brotha (part 2)" contains a sample of Albert King's "I'll Play the Blues for You".
