Common and Pete Rock have released a short film chronicling the making of their critically acclaimed project, The Auditorium Vol. 1. "This is what i was born for, this is what I live for, this is what brings me some of the greatest joy in my life," Common says in the film's intro. "That being said, I knew that I was inspired to do an album that would have the spirit of what we know to be pure soulful, Boom Bap Hip Hop."

The Vevo produced project runs 15 minutes, and features behind the scenes clips as well as performances. "I built my ears up for this type of thing," Pete explains. "To hear what's not there, no matter what a song sounds like, I'll be able to hear the elements regardless. It's like a jigsaw puzzle when we're sampling and chopping. You can match the pieces. Check the film out above.
