UPDATE: Here is a much longer version where Common has an extra verse.
Previous story:
After the heartfelt song and video ‘Lovestar‘ with Marsha Ambrosius, Common comes back today with a new song and accompanying video titled ‘Black America Again’.
The powerful video opens with raw footage of Alton Sterling shooting as Common Sense showcases the sadness in the black community through people. The song has plenty of contributors: Stevie Wonder on the keys, Esperanza Spalding on bass, scratches by J Rock, ad-libs from Chuck D and MC Lyte, and strings by Patrick Warren.
Complex also chatted with Common about the new song, his upcoming album Little Chicago Boy and more. He reveals that John Legend, Anderson .Paak, The Internet and Jay Electronica will be some of the guest appearances on it.
