Common

"Speak My Piece"

BY Alex HudsonPublished Jun 30, 2014

Common just detailed his impending album Nobody Smiling, and now he's rolled out the track "Speak My Piece."

The song features a metallically clanging beat and some breaks with chopped-up samples. Beyond that, Common's rhymes are up front and centre as he gives a shout-out for his hometown of Chicago. He ultimately takes a backseat and lets the beat play out for the last half of the track.

Nobody Smiling will be out on July 22 through Def Jam.
