Common Talks ‘Be’ LP (Video)
September 2, 2011
In 2005, Common released his sixth studio album, and second gold record, Be. In describing the album’s concept shortly after its release, he said, “I named it Be to be who you are, man, and be able to be in the moment and not try too hard. Be is another way of saying just do without trying hard, like I said, natural and be true to the core of who you are; and this album, I wanted to just be and not just go and exist as just an artist, not worried about the past.”

Cocaine 80s – The Pursuit EP
July 3, 2011
This is a pretty ‘dope’ project that sort just dropped out of nowhere under the supervision of producer NO I.D. The collective known as Cocaine 80s consists of an assortment of musicians, singers, producers, & songwriters such as NO I.D., Common, Steve Wyreman, Rob Kinelski, Kevin Randolph, James Fauntleroy, Makeba, & several other players that have yet to be fully confirmed as this time. We posted the only rap oriented track featuring Common called ‘Summer Madness’ on the site previously, but there are many other quality joints on this 7 song EP that stand out like two of my favorites ‘To Tell You The Truth’ & ‘Anywhere But Here’.  Dope project that it’s obvious that the creators are allowing the product to speak for itself & you’ll keep coming back like a good customer. It’s dope……but for the ears.
