The three friends had known each other since the late 1990s, so the camaraderie felt organic. 'It was such a real form of expression, it felt natural. We all have an affinity for great music' says Common. As the trio created, they began to notice something different taking shape - something rooted in the warm R\u0026amp;B sounds of yesteryear but still very much in the present. It was soul music with a modern bounce, a jazz-rap hybrid in the spirit of A Tribe Called Quest. This is black expression the way God intended: earnest, unfiltered, and harmonious. Throughout August Greene, you feel the abundance of Glasper's rolling keys, the sheer honesty of Com's lyrics, and the nuanced subtlety of Riggins' drum work. It's a fluid sound that's sorely needed in today's landscape, and a teachable moment for the next wave of creators.\" - Fat Beats\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecollaborative project from rapper \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Common\u0026amp;_=pf\u0026amp;pf_v_artist_manufacturer=Common\u0026amp;pf_v_artist_manufacturer=August%20Greene\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCommon\u003c\/a\u003e and musicians \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Robert+Glasper\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRobert Glasper\u003c\/a\u003e + \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Karriem+Riggins\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKarriem Riggins\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e'pale moon' colored double vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes printed foldout insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Fat Beats 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"August Greene","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl 2LP","offer_id":40253775282266,"sku":"hh-5498","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/augustgreene-coloredvinyl-1.jpg?v=1759289454","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/products\/august-greene-common-robert-glasper-karriem-riggins-august-greene-colored-vinyl-vinyl-2lp","provider":"turntablelab.sbs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
