In the 4th quarter of 2020, hip-hop artist Common added his voice to the global conversation about racial injustice and systematic racism with his album “A Beautiful Revolution (Pt.1).” As he has done throughout his career, Common not only addresses the ugliness being done to Black communities around the world, but he also highlights the beauty of Black love.

That beauty is on full display in his new video, “What Do You Say,” a record that features Paris A. Jones (better known as just PJ). Click here or on the image above to check out the visuals and remember to like, comment and share.

They say death comes in threes so hopefully we will not be getting anymore sad news from the hip-hop industry. The latest one however, is the passing of Shock G. For those not familiar with 90s hip-hop, he was both the producer and front-man of the hip-hop group Digital Underground.

In addition to his work with his group, Shock G was also a co-producer on 2 Pac‘s debut album, “2Pacalypse Now.” He died on April 22nd in Tampa, Florida.
