Common feat. J. Period – “The Next Chapter (Still Love H.E.R.)”
February 2, 2013
Common links ups with DJ & producer J.Period for this new joint called “The Next Chapter (Still Love H.E.R.)” that will appear on J.Period’s upcoming project “Rage Is Back” due February 12th. Common delivers with the lyricism as usual & I’m diggin’ J.Period’s use of Portishead’s classic ‘Sour Times’ record. It’s should be of no coincidence what J. Period is doing here as Common’s original classic “I Used To Love H.E.R.” also dropped in the same year of 1994 as the Portishead hit. It all makes for a nice & almost subtle multi-musical metaphor for what they put together. We still love H.E.R. too…
