Common The Dreamer/The Believer Warner Bros. Records Rating: 3 Common’s The Dreamer/The Believer is an odd album. Much of it appears as if Common does not want to get left behind in the world of hip-hop. And his way of doing that is by saying grandstanding lyrics such as “my name is synonymous with prominence.” […]

The Shadow Label: NDN Records Rating: 2.5 The Shadow’s album of the same name reverberates “punk” in every note and out every musical pore.
