Estelle – Victorious (feat. Common)
Last year, R&B singer-songwriter Estelle released her third studio album “All of Me;” which was well received from fans and critics. One the tracks that didn’t make the final cut was the No I.D. produced and Common featured “Victorious.” Listen to the track above and let us know in the comments if it should’ve made the album.

OS REWIND: Big Sean – Switch Up (feat. Common)
OS REWIND: Common & J. Period – Clique (Freestyle)
Common – Fine China (Remix)
Who would have thought Common and Talib Kweli would have remixed a Chris Brown record the same year? All we need is for Mos Def aka Yasiin Bey, to hit us with a remix of his own. Granted, this “Fine China” single is hot, though.
Common did his thing, and even got DJ Dummy and 9th Wonder to give the track a Michael Jackson twist, with a smooth break after right before his verse.
Com is lowkey, creeping back up into the rap mix.
