Common reconnects with No I.D. for a solid album. Avoiding the schizophrenia that accompanies other rap albums with tracks produced by a bevy of producers. There aren’t too many rappers that can hold a candle to Com lyrically. This album finds him rhyming about lost love [Lovin’ I Lost], his growing daughter [Windows], and his opponents [Sweet]. Definitely worth a listen. A great album for those who are too grown for the skinny jeans but not yet ready to hang their hat up on hip-hop.
