On their "Black Patch" EP, Common Market bust out of the gate like they've just got 3 minutes to put Seattle on your hip-hop radar. A dense instrumental beatscape is topped off by ferocious, sharp vocals. After all, the Roots once did this for Philly.

Nearly two-and-a-half years after the release of their eponymous debut album, Common Market (RA Scion and Sabzi [Blue Scholars]) are pleased to announce the Black Patch War EP which will be available May 6th digitally and May 20th Physically on MASSLINE MEDIA. The 7-track EP, which derives its name from an early 20th century farmers' rebellion in Western Kentucky, serves as the musical prelude to the highly anticipated full length album Tobacco Road, due in September.
