Posted on November 2, 2020 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

This past Friday one of hip-hop’s most thoughtful MC, Common, released his new album, which is titled “A Beautiful Revolution – Pt.1.” As he has been doing for years, the Chicago native shows up whenever their is turmoil and unrest and offers us some common sense reasoning to hopefully get us back on track.

Though there is a black love song on the project, the album is mostly all about alot of the chaos we see taking place in the divided States of America right now. There are two noteworthy collaborations done with Black Thought and Lenny Kravitz respectively; as well as several tracks featuring with PJ.
