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
