Release Notes:

Here's the retail (mastered!) copy of the new Common album.

-
With fellow Chi-Towner Kanye West behind the boards, Common
returns with his sixth and perhaps best effort to date, Be.
Like a train ride through the ‘hood, the concise, 11-track
opus steamrolls through the images, stories, and emotions of
urban folks getting by any way they know how. Overflowing
with passion, honesty, and optimism, Be gets to the root of
human experience-all the while staying beautifully soulful
and funky.
