Testify

About Testify

"Testify" is the fourth single from rapper Common's 2005 album Be. Clocking in at just above two and a half minutes, it is the second shortest track on Be (after the album's intro). It is produced by Kanye West, whose beat heavily utilizes vocal samples from "Innocent Til Proven Guilty" by Honey Cone. Spence D. of IGN.com comments on this saying: "'Testify' ... features an intricate layering of vocals which provide such a hypnotic backdrop that you almost forget to listen to Common's compelling storytelling. .
