Common came to Haiti a few weeks back for a CNN special, and had such a great experience with the Haitian people, that him and his team decided to shoot the video of his 2nd single "Sweet" off his album "The Dreamer, The Believer" produced by NO I.D, commercially known and proclaimed for producing JayZ's 'Death Of Autotune'. The video shows a side of Haiti that people are familiar with: The streets and the gutter look of the Haitian reality running their daily lives.
Though the lyrics of the song might be quite a bit explicit, the realness behind what he is saying merges perfectly with the type of images being showed in the video.
A great artist, a real man, showing a real part of Haitian culture.
Thank you Common. Looking forward to seeing you back in Haiti soon!
The Chicago hip hop legend’s Warner Brothers Records debut, which also includes “Ghetto Dreams” featuring Nas, and “Blue Sky“, will hit stores this December.

We need more artists to keep it real like this.
