One simply can't dismiss the progress and change Hip-hop's made since it earliest years. Born out of the 90's movement himself, Chicago rapper/producer Common Sense acknowledges its current position and presses on with his thoughts in his forthcoming album Black America Again.
The album builds upon the ongoing issues of violence and racial tension afflicting communities nationwide, and last Thursday night—mere days after the shooting in El Cajon, Ca—Common Sense announced his lyrical movement against such maladies coming to fruition with his latest project.
“I haven't been this inspired since J Dilla passed. I got inspired to be an artist again,” addressed Common before previewing the record's content.
With the album scheduled for its debut on November 4th, Common has also recently released the brand-new album-entitled single, complete with its accompanied visuals. Projecting scenes fans simply can't disregard, the video begins with organic reels from the Alton Sterling case, significantly setting the tone for the single as well as its album to come.
The single “Black America Again” also features appearances from numerous iconic artists such as Esperanza Spalding, Chuck D, MC Lyte, J Rock, and Stevie Wonder—not to mention the album featuring John Legend, Jay Electronica, The Chicago Kid and Syd Tha Kyd of The Internet, Robert Glasper and more.
