1. Common f/ Lil Herb & Cocaine 80s – The Neighborhood
“The Neighborhood” serves as the opening track from Common’s Nobody’s Smiling LP and we can’t think of a better way to kick off an album. With No I.D. on the beat, Com and G Herbo speak on their respective neighborhoods while exhibiting how similar they are despite the generational gap.
Com, Herb, Fauntleroy, No I.D. and a Curtis Mayfield sample — need we say more? Common’s new album, Nobody’s Smiling, hits stores July 22nd.
