Common releases music video for the title track of his upcoming album "Black America Again" featuring legendary singer Stevie Wonder. Produced by Karriem Riggins and Robert Glasper, the song also features Esperanza Spalding on bass, scratches by J Rock, strings by Patrick Warren and ad libs by Chuck D and MC Lyte.

The video opens with footage of Alton Sterling killed by police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Some black men and women are later seen crying as archival footage of civil rights activist Malcolm X is shown. Common raps about Trayvon Martin, Black Lives Matter, slavery and the pay gap Viola Davis pointed out between Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams.

He raps, "Here we go, here, here we go again/ Trayvon'll never get to be an older man/ Black children, they childhood stole from them/ Robbed of our names and our language, stole again/ Who stole the soul from black folk?/ Same man that stole the lamb from cheap black smoke/ And made the whip crackle on our back slow/ And made us go through the back door/ And rap for black bodies on the slave blocks/ Now we slave to the blocks, on 'em we spray shots/ Leaving our own to lay in a box."

"One way of solving a lot of problems that we've got is letting a person feel like somebody, and a man can't get himself together until he knows who he is and be proud of what, and who he is, and where he came from," Stevie says before singing in the outro, "We are rewriting the black American story."

Common hasn't revealed the release date for his upcoming eleventh studio album. The follow-up to his 2014 album "Nobody's Smiling" will feature John Legend, Anderson .Paak, The Internet and Jay Electronica.
