Common unveils a new single and music video entitled “HER Love” featuring Daniel Caesar and special guest Dwele. The song was also produced by the late and great J Dilla.
The soulful production underscores rhymes celebrating Hip hop culture from Jam Master Jay, all the way to Lil Uzi Vert, Nipsey Hussle, and Cardi B. It illuminates the genre’s powerful impact it has had on us who fell in love with Hip hop. Common admits, “You gave me a voice in the world, it’s been hard to choose another girl.”
In his lexicon, “HER” is short for “(Hip-Hop in its Essence is Real)” and was first introduced on his 1994 album Resurrection with “I Used To Love H.E.R.” For the event-level track, he unites with prominent forces from different eras of the culture to deliver a timeless dedication to hip-hop with “HER Love” buoyed by Dilla and a soulful hook from Caesar. Delivering a rap “State of the Union,” his bars detail the evolution of hip-hop throughout the past 25 years, complementing how he first commented on the genre in 1994 and bringing everything full circle.
