Common is one of those rare rappers who is able to deliver a conscious message in his music and still have superstar status. Common is staying in that lane as he releases his latest single titled “War,” which addresses the violence in his hometown of Chicago.
As reported by consequnceofsound.net:
“With his surging new “War,” Common addresses that violence with righteous indignation and interestingly enough, places an audio snippet in the final seconds of a Revolt TV interview.
“Common [also] announced that his next album will be titled, Nobody’s Smiling, and will see the Chicago rapper and actor reunited with No I.D., the esteemed producer who worked with him on his first three albums, 1992’s Can I Borrow A Dollar?, 1994’s Resurrection, and 1997’s One Day It Will All Make Sense. This album, however, conceptually takes on Chicago’s violence that’s also “happening around the world,” he revealed in the Revolt interview.”
