DOWNLOAD: Black Sheep – Come Back Home
“In celebration of the new album, From The Black Pool Of Genius, Black Sheep is releasing a new nostalgic single called “Come Back Home” featuring the new dynamic R&B duo P&V. The track opens with a monologue, “Oh word. Ain’t seen you in a hundred. Oh, come on now, I’m chilling; you can listen to the music and tell that.” The song delivers on the promise of hang-out music with a bittersweet but accepting vibe and a slow beat using a soft keyboard with reverb to spit over. But listening closely to the lyrics, it isn’t just another hang-out song nor is it a song about the romance of a woman. It is really a metaphor for the desire of more significant hip-hop in contemporary culture. “‘Come Back Home’ is in the vein of Common‘s ‘I Used To Love H.E.R.‘, and perhaps skewed a bit to my perspective,” says Dres. “It speaks of the want for a more sincere meaningful hip-hop, but attests the willingness to accept what it’s become and move forward.” “
