Common And Pete Rock Perform 'Dreamin'' Live On Vevo Crtl

Common and Pete Rock continue to generate anticipation for their upcoming collaborative project, The Auditorium Vol. 1. On the latest Vevo crtl, the duo performed "Dreamin'" live. "We don’t have to reach to make it sound like a throwback,” says Common of the new project. “We don’t have to reach to try to make it sound like it’s new and young. We’ve just got to be who we are and do what we love.”

Common and Pete Rock released "Wise Up", the first video from The Auditorium Vol. 1 last month. The video was shot at several urban areas, including Allah School In Mecca at 2122 Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd in New York City. "Wise Up" features Common spitting in classic form over a piano heavy Pete Rock track that contains an interpolation of MC Shan and Marley Marls 1986 classic "The Bridge".

Common spoke about the upcoming project last year with MSNBC host Ari Melber. "I've been listening to a lot of '90s Hip-Hop recently because I'm working on a new album with Pete Rock," he said. "The energy of that music whether it's Brand Nubian, A Tribe Called Quest, or De La Soul, who just got their music on streaming, it's inspiring to hear. I'm creating music and I'm in a great space right now."
