More than just a protest statement, this politically charged album is at once an exorcism of rage and a constructive healing ritual. Behind a refreshingly inventive beat, “Joy and Peace” allows solemnity, anger and patience to coexist. In “Pyramids” and “Home”, Common and producer/drummer Karriem Riggins’ fusion of gospel and classic boom-bap cuts a new path towards justice and liberation.
