JUKEBOXDC Editorials: A Night On Fourteenth With Common
This past Saturday night, I was invited to come out to Common’s Green For All event at Park at Fourteenth. I got to the venue a few minutes before Common and his entourage arrived. Once the Chicago emcee arrived, I was escorted along with him to the VIP section where I was formally introduced to Common by my homie RRA from DMV Culture. Common is a real cool brother, very humble and treated me like a friend he knew for years.
Common mingled around the room with his friends for a bit then hit the stage to perform a few records.
He opened up with a crowd favorite, ‘Go’, from his album Be, after which he then went into his current single, ‘Ghetto Dreams’, which also features Nas. During his performance of ‘Ghetto Dreams‘, he announced that he had a new album coming out on November 22 entitled The Dreamer, The Believer…the album is produced by NoID and will be his Warner Bros. debut. Following the announcement, he thanked everybody that went to out to buy his new book, One Day It’ll All Make Sense, which is now on the New York’s Best Sellers List (f you haven’t picked up the book, make sure do it right here). Lamman Rucker (of movies like Why Did I Get Married) also came through and kicked it with us for a little bit.
After the jump, check out some flicks from the show (pictures by Mercyc and spotted on The Jasmine Brand).
