Description
The horn stab that kicks in after the second verse of When We Move feels like a signal flare, pushing Common’s optimism into motion with Black Thought and Seun Kuti fanning the groove. A Beautiful Revolution Pt 2 leans into warm, live-band bounce and Afrobeat accents, a thoughtful counterpoint to heavy days. The first side’s tender duet with PJ softens the edges before the closer’s chant circles back to purpose.
This neon yellow pressing does the music a favour. The low end sits deeper and the imaging around the horn lines is cleaner, so those percussion flickers don’t blur the pocket. The bright colour also makes the package pop on a shelf without shouting.
Prefer clicking instead of crate-digging? You can buy Common records online here. Spun next to The Roots, it makes sense in that lane of thoughtful soul-rap where cadence and chord changes carry equal weight, but Common’s delivery is calmer, more steadied, with verses that feel like community notes rather than sermons.
If you missed Pt 1 or you’re just chasing the cuts people actually play at small gatherings, When We Move is the one you’ll reach for, and the PJ duet is the late-night keeper. File it under grown, hopeful hip-hop that still swings.
Order online now or swing past our Preston shop to pick it up.
