Common-Speak My Piece

Windy City veteran Common came out with his tenth album Nobody's Smiling pretty recently and proved once again that he's one of the best in the game. While not his most impressive piece of work, the album is great and will be in my rotation for a long time to come. "Speak My Piece", even though it's probably the least lyrically conscience song on the album, it's still my favorite. The B.I.G. sample is incredible when mixed with the percussion, and Common puts up a flow that errs from the usual. Check out Nobody's Smiling, on iTunes now.
