The Dream


Common blesses his fans with the opportunity to hear his new album The Dreamer, The Believer in its entirety through a YouTube stream. After taking a listen, it's safe to say that No I.D. and Common creates true perfection! Common's prolific, positive Hip Hop rhymes over No I.D.'s sick beats establishes a timeless, classic album.

The album begins with the track, "The Dreamer", and over the head bopping beat you hear Common smoothly say, "Maybe I'm a hopeless Hip Hop romantic" laying the foundation for his entire album. In a video Common talks to Rap-Up TV saying that the album is a product of what he does best: Hip Hop. Both Common and No I.D. grew up and are deeply rooted in Hip Hop and together they created an album with a message of introspection for the masses; a message that you don't want to overlook.

Throughout the 12-track album, Common brings a message of the "power of the dream" and how fulfilling your dream provides hope for our community. Common continues to set the stage for the album as he concludes the first track with the voice of Maya Angelou, "If you desire a bright tomorrow, you must build a brighter dream... We are here alive today because our ancestors dared to dream..."
