“Wise Up represents the coming together of a New York Producer and a
Chicago MC doing the hip hop we love. It feels like the spirit of where
we come from , the boom bap , the basement , but it also feels forward
and new. We wanted this to be the first joint because this record
captures a new sound and is a new light but speaks directly to our hip
hop family”.
-Common
“Working with Common was a breath of fresh air. We both connected to a
higher power, which helped us tap into our greatest level of creativity.
We constructed an amazing project! Common has an incredible soul, so it
was easy to connect with someone who is on the same page as me.”
- Pete Rock
