New Album from Common. Definitely one for the Hip-Hop heads out there... Probably his most commercial offering yet but after first listen that is no bad thing. Where before he had two or three choice cuts on each of his previous albums, for me this one offers a lot more. Standout tunes after first play are: "Ghetto Dreams Feat. Nas", "Gold", "Lovin I Lost", "Celebrate", and "The Believer Feat. John Legend". The usual R'n'B influences feature quite heavily but his unique flow and musical backing means the album flows along nicely. Very enjoyable. If the link goes down it's well worth digging in the crates to find it. Be careful of few fakes flying around that require passwords but this link at the time of posting was good.

Enjoy

Worth a download for track 5 alone... Nas & Amy??? Yes please!!! It's a banger too... Her take on "A Song For You" is brilliant and the 2011 version of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" is also great. The reggae feel to "Our Day Will Come" opens the album and sets the tone for a quality record. Shame there won't be any more.... but then she was a complete nut case!!!

RIP Amy

Enjoy!!!


The download should work when you re-activate the passport by inputting the figures and clicking the re-activate button and then you can download. If the link goes down (a lot have been removed of course!!!) it's well worth having a dig around and seeing if you can find it elsewhere.
