Common Unleashes Straight Knowledge & Bars On New L.A. Leakers Freestyle

Common is easily one of the best ever when it comes to freestyling. So you know it’s a real treat whenever he visits the famed duo of DJ’s and producers, Justin Credible and DJ Sourmilk of Power 106 LA. Better known as the L.A. Leakers, who have hosted a really popular viral freestyle series with their Liftoff show.

With the Chicago and Hip-Hop legends newest solo album, A Beautiful Revolution Vol. 2, set to release tonight. You know Com had to stop by to unleash straight bars and knowledge for nearly eight minutes. Over Group Home’s DJ Premier-produced classic, Livin’ Proof, and Raekwon’s RZA-produced street classic, Incarcerated Scarfaces.

Common references everything from his hometown of Chicago to Naomi Osaka, Barack Obama, Justin Fields and Colin Kaepernick. As well as Queen Latifah, Lauryn Hill, and the late great Biz Markie, among others. Dropping such knowledgeable and clever bars as, “It’s war zones, n***as still hustling still. They say you gotta Bear arms, like Justin Fields. I quarterback black movements, like the influence of Black music. The Com-fluence, beyond nuance. Duance and Uncle’s.” Also rapping, “Kaepernick of this rap sh*t, you see I ain’t playing with these goofy a** rappers. I do movies, I know actors. It’s all on your face, you ain’t never been proactive. This is pro-Black hood, wrapped in black woods. Yeah, we stack good and still show Black love like Barack and Michelle. I’m like an electric car, out of my shell, I plot and prevail. Pushing these bars like I got out of jail.” Common, shows once again why he’s one of the best not only to ever touch a mic. But arguably among the best freestyle’s ever.
