Release Date:September 09, 2008
Label:HYENA Records

Synopsis

Common Market's Tobacco Road showcases true flowing intelligence from MC RA Scion over DJ/Producer Sabzi's [also of Blue Scholars] most creative and melodic compositions to-date. It is laden with heavy introspection and RA Scion's staunch personal convictions on life, love and art with meaning. As important as the incredible lyricism is to this album, so is its groove and fantastic production. Sabzi has prepared a masterpiece complete with hard-hitting drums, soul-drenched samples and authentic piano compositions. Hip-hop at the cutting edge.

"...a cadence and voice reminiscent to Talib Kweli, lyricist RA Scion excels at spitting rhymes designed to motivate and educate...Meanwhile, producer Sabzi serves up a bevy of head-bobbing beats featuring dusty soul samples and hard hitting drums."
