Common x J. Period: "The Next Chapter (Still Love H.E.R.)"

Period produced track continues where Common's '94 "I Used to Love H.E.R " leaves off. "'The Next Chapter (Still Love H.E.R.)' celebrates the latest episode in my lifelong lyrical love-affair with hip hop," Common says. This knocks. Off of J. Period's upcoming Rage is Back mixtape. Listen below.
