Common
Fresh off the stage of Kamala Harris' 50 Years of Hip-Hop celebration, multi-hyphenate rapper Common will stop by the other Washington to yet again honor the genre's milestone. He will likely perform tracks from his latest release, the double album A Beautiful Revolution (Pt. 1 + 2), which NME described as "rich with Afro-centric grooves and dusty drum breaks" with "the spirit of James Brown weaving in and out of the pro-Black messaging." Plus, his pal John Legend will be in town just three days after—is it just a coincidence? I could see them special guest-ing at each other's shows with a performance of their Grammy-winning song "Glory," but I make no promises!
