In just two weeks we’ll finally have the full treatment of Common‘s anxiously-awaited eleventh studio album Black America Again. Thus far the album has revealed itself to be the heart-and-soul-healing union of music giants we need in this broken world, featuring heavy contributions from Detroit’s Karriem Riggins, as well as legends like Stevie Wonder, modern movers like Syd and Marsha Ambrosious, and the vocal freak himself, Bilal.
And while Com and Bilal’s creative synergy has been showcased on album cuts like “Home” and the poignant closing number “Letter To The Free,” today we have the pleasure of bringing you the latest offering from Black America Again, the album’s head-knocking opening prayer “Joy And Peace.” You can hear it down below for the righteously low price of free ninety-nine.
