Along with rappers like Q-Tip, Nas and Busta Rhymes, Common will also be releasing a new album this year. The veteran rapper has announced the release of Nobody Smiling, which will reunite him with producer No I.D., who worked with Common on his first three albums — 1992’s Can I Borrow A Dollar, 1994’s Resurrection, and 1997’s One Day It Will All Make Sense.
Common revealed on REVOLT TV that he’s prepping ‘Nobody Smiling,’ and also excitingly mentioned his collaboration with No I.D., which he hopes will make his fans very happy. He also talked about the tone of the album and some of the work that went into the whole idea of the project. He said:
“Nobody Smiling was really a thought that came about because of all the violence that was going on in Chicago, or that is going on. It happens in Chicago, but it’s happening around the world in many ways… It’s happening in the inner cities all over America. We were talking about the conditions of what’s happening when I said Nobody Smiling but it’s really a call to action.”
The Chicago rapper also talked about “War,” the first single off the album. In the track, Common raps: “Young soldiers who never got to become older / Dogtagged in the body bag / Police kept the knot he had.” Soon after announcing the release of his 2014 album, Common released the track via Twitter. Here it is:
‘Nobody Smiling’ drops later this year.
