DrewBreezCommon is listenable here. Illa J and Frank Nitt don’t disturb or are harmless. Dezi Paige really steals the show. She’s finessing those strings with a half-staccato, half-grooving yodel. Lovely addition to a vanilla cream song otherwise.

New Music: Lil Herb – “Fight Or Flight” (Remix) Feat. Common & Chance The Rapper

Lil Herb, like Lil Bibby, Lil Durk and Lil Reese, is a Chi-town hustler rapper. Where he lacks in finesse, he makes up for in pulp. On this one, Common and Chance add the touches of subtlety and sobriety. Com just needs to rap a little faster so he doesn't give the song such an obvious belly. After the jump.
Classic and beautiful piece of music here!
this is just ill!
That girl! She has a great voice!
