Common - When We Move (Live Session) | Vevo Ctrl

Common - When We Move | Vevo Ctrl (Live Session) Declarations of cultural pride don’t come much more passionate or engaging than “How We Move.“ Common’s ’A Beautiful Revolution, Part 2’ album teems with big ideas, great grooves, and fierce flows, but this track, which features Black Thought and Seun Kuti, rides a powerhouse rhythm with sizable Afro-Pop influences (yes, Seun is Fela’s son). When the rappers jump in, they’re carried along by river of propulsion. The Chicago hip-hop icon, who’s been a longtime Vevo bud, is at his best here, so goosebumps abound. “Wherever we are you can feel the prowess/Whenever we move, yo, we turn the style up/I’ma just give Black power its flowers/Whether in the projects or the palace.“ It was big treat to have the maestro hit our Brooklyn studios and spit this one. Heads up, greatness is in the house. Watch the official video for “When We Move“:
