Rap trio August Greene, consisting of Hip Hop legend Common and producers Robert Glasper and Karriem Riggins, has shared via NPR its self-titled album ahead of its scheduled Friday (March 9) release.
The collective released debut single, “Optimistic,” off the 11-track effort back in January. Previously, Glasper and Riggins provided production on Common’s Emmy Award-winning “Letter To The Free.”
The first-listen comes on the heels of Common and Andra Day’s anti-gun violence performance of “Stand Up For Something” that took place Sunday (March 4) at the Oscars. Common and Day’s work was nominated for “Best Original Song” for 2017’s Marshall.
