Common is finally ready to release his highly anticipated eleventh studio album, Black America Again. The Chicago rapper announced today the album's release date, full track list, and showed off the cover art.
Black America Again will be released on November 4th on iTunes.
The Grammy and Academy Award winning rapper also unveiled a full track list for the much-hyped, politically charged new album, which includes collaborations with Stevie Wonder, BJ the Chicago Kid, John Legend, and more. The album will also feature multiple tracks with NYC singer-songwriter and frequent Common collaborator Bilal. The full track list is as follows:
- Joy and Peace (f. Bilal)
- Home (f. Bilal)
- Word From Moe Luv Interlude
- Black America Again (f. Stevie Wonder)
- Love Star (f. Marsha Ambrosius & PJ)
- On a Whim Interlude
- Red Wine (f. Syd & Elena)
- Pyramids
- A Moment In the Sun Interlude
- Unfamiliar (f. PJ)
- A Bigger Picture Called Free (f. Syd & Bilal)
- The Day Women Took Over (f. BJ the Chicago Kid)
- Rain (f. John Legend)
- Little Chicago Boy (f. Tasha Cobbs)
- Letter To the Free (f. Bilal)
Common previously gave everyone a preview of the new album by performing acoustic versions of The Day Women Took Over, Little Chicago Boy, and Letter to the Free at the recent South By Southlawn music festival held at the White House. He also previewed two bars from the track Black America Again on the Sway In the Morning Show earlier this summer. Black America Again will be Common's first album since the 2014 release of the Chicago focused Nobody's Smiling, which debuted in the Billboard Top 10 and received overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics.
