Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
No matter where Common’s illustrious music and film career takes him, he never forgets home. Common has brought some friends along to help raise money for his Common Ground Foundation. You may have heard of Talib Kweli, The Roots, Will I Am? Hopefully, there will be some local surprises. (Crucial Conflict, Twista or that guy Kanye, perhaps?).
Why do it now: Because we support our own. And duh, you get to see a great show.
