Data Insight
Karriem Riggins writes across nearly all of the eleven tracks and produces all of them, so by this point the partnership is closer than the one with No I.D. ever was. Common is on ten of the eleven. It is a companion piece to a book, which no other album here is.
Let Love came out on Loma Vista in August 2019 alongside his memoir Let Love Have the Last Word. Karriem Riggins produced it and Daniel Caesar, Leikeli47, Jill Scott and Swizz Beatz appear on it.
