[@sonwestsaladaemaheustyle3469]

I happy, he said volume 2 is coming. The album, is fire to the masses it’s a mind blowing project. This is what was missing in hip hop. I finally realize that: There is a lot of great music out there. Hip hop, is alive was never dead?! Common Sense, and Pete Rock, are the real prove of that!! This is pure real music, mixed with blues notes, jazz vibe, soulful, hip hop, is a multiple functional sound drummer it doesn’t stop. Congratulations, my beloved who I grow up listening the main ingredients, resurrection Common, hip hop is breathing again no mumbling rap 😂

[@MockManor]

Great to see Real Hiphop promoted on a mainstream outlet, and even greater to see the soul brother Pete Rock up there. Hip-hop like this is definitely needed. given the constant trash that's constantly forced fed to us from the media. Looks like people are finally fed up with mediocre trash can music that has no substance whatsoever.
