Common live in Atlanta + new album cover/tracklist

October 29, 2008

Extremely unwack 25 minute long Common performance from a few nights ago in the ATL. Shoutouts to my lil sister in college down there! Under that are the cover and tracklist for Com’s eighth LP Universal Mind Control, which you can legally purchase on December 9th. I’m pretty sure my dudes Chester French are featured on “What A World,” but they’re not listed on the tracklist…strange.

01. Universal Mind Control
02. Punch Drunk Love (Feat. Kanye West)
03. Make My Day (Feat. Cee-Lo Green)
04. Sex 4 Sugar
05. Announcement (Feat. Pharrell Williams)
06. Gladiator
07. Changes
08. Inhale
09. What a World
10. Everywhere

The Foreign Exchange feat. Muhsinah – “Daykeeper” (video)

October 24, 2008

This is a haunting clip for a truly beautiful song. The way the vocals blend and the mood builds throughout the track is remarkable. With Leave It All Behind, along with his work earlier this year with Zo!, I think Phonte has established himself as one of the most talented artists in hip hop.
