Tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of Be. It’s hard to grasp that it was 20 years ago. What Ye was doing was super special, what J Dilla was doing was super special and I am forever grateful to them and everyone who contributed to this album. Be means so much to me because I have had so many different types of people tell me what it means to them. And there is no greater feeling than to have your music mean something. Thank you GOD you are the greatest.
In celebration of this album, we have pressed a 2LP translucent yellow marble blend. This limited-edition vinyl includes the original track list on LP 1 and the albums instrumentals on LP 2. The first 750 copies will include a signed print from me of the album cover.
We have also released a deluxe version on all streaming services which features the album, instrumentals, and these bonus cuts. Go check it out wherever you listen to music and celebrate 20 years of Be with me. common.lnk.to/Be20th

A blessed and Happy Anniversary to Like Water For Chocolate. 25 years ago this album was released. I go back and forth on what’s my favorite album that I have made and this one seems to always be in my top 2. Whether it’s my favorite or not, I do know this album changed my life. It was a rebirth 🙏🏾

Excited to share that “Silo” will return for a third AND fourth season! We’re thrilled to support the imagination and inspiration out of the UK as they continue to create world-class films and series.
Wise Up, All Kind Of Ideas, Fortunate, Dreamin’ and When The Sun Shines Again. Revisiting these videos from The Auditorium Vol. 1 makes me wonder…what would you want a video for off the album?

Peace. I’m excited to share this new video for “When The Sun Shines Again" featuring Posdnuos and Bilal. The Illimite guys snapped and really created something special. Shout out to Tina Farris, Morgan Treks, Ms. Sarah and all the people from St. Helena Island in South Carolina. That’s a very special and sacred land and people. And big up to my brother Pete Rock for the super dope beat and energy you brought to the video. Check it out y’all. Love. i.commonandpeterock.com/when…
