Don’t let the title fool you. On Common‘s new track “Sweet” is definitely not. The song is even a bit controversial, because it’s such a departure from the conscious Common that we’ve become accustomed to in the last few years. Whatever. I like it, it’s hard core hip-hop.

The video, shot on the streets of Haiti, serves as a fundraiser for the poverty stricken country. Fans were offered the opportunity to donate a dollar to the cause to stream the video live with Common, and donations are still being taken. If you’d like to donate, you can do so by clicking here. This track can be found on Common’s forthcoming album The Dreamer, The Believer which will be in stores next month. Watch the video below:
