Dreaming is believing

Common’s new album, “The Dreamer/The Believer,” is less boasting about himself and more about toasting others. The album is more than just a collection of songs; it has a message of dreaming and believing.

“The Dreamer/The Believer” was produced by No I.D., and this collaboration might be the first step in Common moving into another level of fame and notoriety.

John Legend makes an appearance on the title track “The Believer,” which keeps with the motivational message. Some of the other strong tracks from the album include “Blue Sky,” “Celebrate,” “Lovin’ I Lost” and “Ghetto Dreams,” featuring Nas.

Common’s latest effort leaves the listeners believing that they can go out and accomplish their dreams.
