Common ft. PJ | What Do You Say (Move It Baby) | Official Music Video
This song came out last year in October, but you can say it was slept on. When I got the stems for this track to remix in the Splice competition, I'm like this song is amazing from beginning to end. How can you make this better than it already is. I know how, make a video like this. The video does this track pure justice. See for yourself.

John Legend ft. Common | Glory
The Civil Rights movement, in part, was propelled by phenomenal orators in leadership roles, the most poignant of which was Dr. Martin Luther King. As film fans await to see how Selma conveys that story on the silver screen, a powerful song from the official soundtrack called “Glory” by John Legend, featuring G.O.O.D. Music partner Common, has released.
Legend sings, capturing the feeling of a movement that once united a race of people and made the States a more livable place for underprivileged Blacks. Fans will hear the duo’s years of collaborating translate into great chemistry on the soulful, piano-driven record.
Selma hits theaters on Christmas day. Stream Legend’s “Glory” below.
