"Ghetto Dreams" serves up gritty analogies for those persons
aspiring to better than their current situations. "I decided to
write about ghetto dreams just in a way that was raw," Common told
MTV News. "I almost approached it like I was a character because I
don't smoke cigarettes etc. But I still wanted to talk about those
things and these issues. It's like I stepped into the shoes of
myself, my friends and just people that come from a tough place,
who dream about higher things. I told it in respect to the
relationship I got with my lady, it's ill. It's not a love song or
none of that; it's just raw. It's ill lyrics man, I'm telling
you."
The NO I.D. produced track comes complete with throw-back
artwork to commemorate the long overdue collaboration. On July 2nd,
Nas was so elated with the track that he took to Twitter prior to
the official release date and posted the link to the track just
after stating, "I'm giving @Common 15 minutes or I'm putting this
sh-- out myself! #GhettoDreams."
In their review of the song, Billboard.com
anticipated "If the boom-bap drums, intermittent turntable
scratches and horn stabs on 'Ghetto Dreams' are any indication,
'The Dreamer, The Believer,' will be a throwback to mid-90s
hip-hop." New York Magazine chimes in that
the collaboration between the traditionalist emcees "Makes an awful
lot of sense together, especially on this beat, a sterling DJ
premier impersonation turn in by No I.D." Popular lifestyle blog
Roc4Life proclaims, "Throw all three on one
track and you have what can only be described as a dream session."
While hip-hop blogging duo 2DopeBoyz
enthusiastically posted, "Two of rap's finest on one track? Nasty!
What else would you expect?"
The release of the new single comes after the recent
announcement of Common's recent signing to Warner Bros. Records by
co-president Todd Moscowitz on June 24th at the LA offices. "I'm
very grateful to be a part of this family, to be a part of this
team," Common told the crowd in the Warner Bros. Records courtyard.
"We have very inspirational, exciting music to team up with you.
We're just open to what this change can bring."
Fans can expect Common's 9th studio album "The
Dreamer, The Believer" this fall with No I.D. exclusively
behind the production helm.
