Listen: Common – “Blue Sky (Prod. No I.D.)”
A radio rip of Common‘s second single “Blue Sky” has been floating around the Internet, but now we have the full CDQ version of the song. Following up first single “Ghetto Dreams” where Common traded bars with the legendary Nas, Common’s newest track has an old-school feel and samples none other than Electric Light Orchestra‘s “Mr. Blue Sky”. Production by No I.D., who also produced the first single.
MP3: Common – “Blue Sky”
Common’s ninth LP, The Dreamer, The Believer will be available November 22 via Warner Bros. Records. That’s a date you definitely should have marked down.
Video: Common – “Ghetto Dreams (feat. Nas)”
Director Matt Alonzo gives Common‘s “Ghetto Dreams (feat. Nas)” the video treatment, releasing the official video earlier today. One of my favorite collaborations this year that doesn’t involve Kanye West or Jay-Z, this track has me really excited for Common’s The Dreamer, The Believer, out November 22. The black-and-white clip above really does the song justice, depicting the street life and ambitions of the two rappers. Bria Myles stars, as does Rick Ross‘s beard. You can purchase “Ghetto Dreams” on iTunes now.
