Never one to disappoint, hip-hop artist, actor and activist Common, released a full length album titled “August Greene” on March 9th. The project is a collaborative effort with Grammy-winning pianist/producer Robert Glasper and drummer/producer Kerriem Riggins. The trio have formed a group, with the same name, and this album is their first release.

“August Greene” is now available via Amazon and it has been getting great reviews from music critics all over. The best way to sum up this project is that it’s mature hip-hop. Common has never been and is not now, on any kind of money trip, hype or fame buzz. He’s doing what he always does, speak to his people through his music.

Check out “August Greene” here.
