Common & Pete Rock – The Auditorium, Vol. 1
The Auditorium Vol. 1 has 15 tracks, with guest appearances from Bilal, Jennifer Hudson, Posdnuos, and PJ.
As John-Paul Shiver of Treble describes it, “The Auditorium, Volume 1 is a peculiar bouillabaisse of ideas and sounds that reference the past and give wisdom about the future, extending its vibe to everyone who wants to hear.”
And also: “These architects of rap and pillars of hip-hop connect and push each other, making that noise, raising the bar, and letting young cats know—don’t settle for the quick money. Longevity pays in respect.”
You can stream it now on Apple Music, Spotify, and various other digital streaming platforms.
