August Greene is the new supergroup from Common, Robert Glasper and Karriem Riggins. Following their debut single “Optimistic” with Brandy last month, they’re back with another new song in the form of “Black Kennedy.”
“Black Kennedy is a way of saying we move and operate in black excellence,” Common says. “For many people the Kennedy family symbolizes royalty and represents power, style and influence. I thought if I’m gonna do it, I’m gonna do it in a black way.”
The trio’s self-titled album will be released on March 9th.
