“I’ve had this story idea for a few years and always envisioned Common playing an important role. So I am extremely humbled and thrilled to be working with him on this. After watching ‘Snowfall’ and being a fan of Eric’s work, he’s exactly who I wanted to bring this powerful story to life,” Tountas told The Wrap.
Besides riding his Hollywood wave, Common will return to his day one love, hip-hop, with the release of his 14th album, A Beautiful Revolution Pt. 2, on Sept. 10. He released the new single “When We Move” last week featuring Black Thought and Seun Kuti. Kuti is the son of famed African musician Fela Kuti. Check out the three creating inspirational vibes with “When We Move” below.
