Adding to the excitement surrounding the album is Common’s bold declaration that it ranks among the top three in his illustrious discography of solo projects. For an artist with a discography as rich and diverse as Common’s, such a statement speaks volumes.
As music fans eagerly await further details about the album’s release, “Tryin” stands as a testament to the enduring power of Hip-Hop to inspire, provoke, and captivate. With Common and Pete Rock at the helm, this forthcoming project has all the makings of a modern classic.
