Tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of Be. It’s hard to grasp that it was 20 years ago. What Ye was doing was super special, what J Dilla was doing was super special and I am forever grateful to them and everyone who contributed to this album. Be means so much to me because I have had so many different types of people tell me what it means to them. And there is no greater feeling than to have your music mean something. Thank you GOD you are the greatest. In celebration of this album, we have pressed a 2LP translucent yellow marble blend. This limited-edition vinyl includes the original track list on LP 1 and the albums instrumentals on LP 2. The first 750 copies will include a signed print from me of the album cover. We have also released a deluxe version on all streaming services which features the album, instrumentals, and these bonus cuts. Go check it out wherever you listen to music and celebrate 20 years of Be with me. common.lnk.to/Be20th - The Corner (Remix) Feat. Mos Def & Scarface - The Corner (Last Poets Reprise) - Go!

A blessed and Happy Anniversary to Like Water For Chocolate. 25 years ago this album was released. I go back and forth on what’s my favorite album that I have made and this one seems to always be in my top 2. Whether it’s my favorite or not, I do know this album changed my life. It was a rebirth 🙏🏾 lnk.to/Common_LWFC

Wise Up, All Kind Of Ideas, Fortunate, Dreamin’ and When The Sun Shines Again. Revisiting these videos from The Auditorium Vol. 1 makes me wonder…what would you want a video for off the album?

Three years ago, A Beautiful Revolution Pt. 2 was created with hope and inspiration in mind. When I put out this album, I was thinking, “what is the next step in this revolution?” The spirit of the album was meant to emulate what a greater day would sound and feel like. To be an example of the beautiful aspects of revolution that include joy, self-love, compassion, dreams, peace and good times. To bring joy to people’s hearts, fun to their lives and smiles too. To the people who ask me how we doing three years later, I say… Our destination is constant elevation You can tell the nation We’re on the rise through the lows and the highs Tell the world to recognize We’ve only just begun 🙏🏾
