Back in January, rapper Common, pianist Robert Glasper and drummer Karriem Riggins announced that they have formed a new band called August Greene. Since then, the group has shared two solid singles — ‘Optimistic‘ featuring Brandy and ‘Black Kennedy‘. Now ahead of the album’s release on March 9, they have decided to share the project in its entirety.
