Common’s been relatively prolific with the content releases in recent months, and today comes through with the third set of visuals from the upcoming album The Dreamer, The Believer.
A track that really took me by surprise upon its release, Common is aggressive, powerful and downright scathing on this one, bringing an intensity that has been somewhat dormant for many years, and certainly harks back to his days as Common Sense. The video has a grittiness that works well alongside the audio, with the location of Haiti creating a sense of realism whilst Common’s wild-eyed, physical performance further amplifies the passion and fierceness of the audio.
One of the most intense, burning tracks in recent months and further demonstration of Common’s skilled versatility as a rapper. Credit to Com for really throwing everyone off with this one, and I’m looking forward to that album release.
When does the album drop? This video has got me psyched!
20th December, as I recall. Produced entirely by No I.D.
This ain’t no Sinatra Drizzy!!!
