Description
Small party, lights low, and the needle finds Common x Pete Rock’s The Auditorium Vol. 1 (2LP) while conversation turns into head-nods. Pete’s sample alchemy keeps the groove earthy and immediate, and Common sounds fully at home, writing in bold lines again. Wise Up has that dusty horn loop that keeps circling back with purpose, while Fortunate swings a little looser, all bounce and pocket, perfect for a late refill run to the kitchen.
Pressed across two records, the music breathes with more room and detail. The low end sits deeper and the imaging snaps into place, so those layered chops feel like they’re standing in the room with you. Artwork also gets the space it deserves, which suits a project this considered.
File it right next to Gang Starr, and it still feels fresh rather than nostalgic, because the conversation between emcee and producer is front and centre. If you prefer ordering from the couch, you can buy Common records online with us. Fans who loved Like Water for Chocolate’s warmth will recognise the patience here, but Pete’s palette pulls everything a step closer to the street corner.
A strong, purposeful pairing that rewards volume and repeat plays. Order today, available online or for pickup in our Melbourne store.
