After collaborating on all but two tracks from his last album, Kanye West and Common are set to unleash their creative talents yet again, this time for Common’s 2nd G.O.O.D Music album, tentatively titled “Finding Forever”.
The album, a follow-up to Common’s 2005 LP, “Be,” features beats by Kanye, Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas, and the late J. Dilla.
“I want to leave a mark on this earth,” Common recently told Billboard magazine. “By making music and saying what I have to say in my music is one of the ways I will exist forever.”
“Finding Forever”, Common’s 7th studio album, is scheduled to hit stores on July 10 via Geffen.
Common’s current release “Be” has sold around 800,000 copies in the United States alone and he has been touring to support it over the last 12-18 months, he was also recently nominated for 4 Grammy awards and for 2 NCAAP Image awards.
An influential figure in today’s rap world, Common stands for a more musical, sophisticated rap genre struggling to compete against the flood of commercialized gangsta figures.
keep yah ears opened!
