Black America Again

by Common

Black America Again cover art

Released merely days before the highly divisive 2016 United States presidential election, the Chicago rap veteran delivers a sweeping, politically urgent reflection on modern Black life. Produced largely by Karriem Riggins, the record is steeped in warm, organic jazz-rap and neo-soul, featuring high-profile appearances from Stevie Wonder, John Legend, and Syd. It was widely acclaimed for its profound, socially conscious storytelling.
