Common is probably my favorite artist of all time, hearing this is amazing. I'm looking more forward to this album than Kanye's new project. I'm so excited because Common is finding himself again after about a year-long phase of seeking club bangers. I'm so glad he's back.
"I named the album The Believer because I feel like my career has been all about believing in myself. I think as human beings, if we apply that, we can achieve what we want to achieve. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I've been able to practice it everyday, but I strive to. If true belief is there, man, the world is yours. The album itself is really going to be a hip-hop uplifting album--culturally relevant, inspirational, hardcore hip-hop. In the spirit of KRS-One, Rakim, Nas, Kanye--cats that bring what really means something to people's lives."
