[MP3] Common – Kingdom feat. Vince Staples

This would have been a good track to post yesterday, the day I normally post more classic soulful or reggae sounds, if I wasn’t out and about enjoying the amazing weather we had then caught up semi-live tweeting the end of Hot 97’s Summerjam. The chorus on this new Common single has a real gospel/spiritual feel, no? This six minute plus epic is apparently from his forthcoming album, Nobody Smiling. I like it (it kind of reminds me of “The Corner” in style) and to his credit, it doesn’t feel six minutes long which is a good sign.
