While he claims to be "the official soundtrack of hummus everywhere", this has yet to be confirmed.
Magnolia Rain
She's becoming one of my favorite artists of 2024. This joint is gonna be in heavy rotation for awhile.
[From Common via YouTube] Five bucks says longtime rap fans got chills when they first heard Common and Pete Rock were working on a project. Chicago’s most poetic OG connecting with the revered Mt.
