Common is prepping his highly anticipated seventh album, Finding Forever, for a July 31st release on G.O.O.D Music/Geffen Records. Finding Forever finds Kanye again taking the bulk of production work with help from will.i.am on the sultry “I Want You,” the late great J. Dilla on “So Far To Go,” featuring a surprise guest appearance by D’Angelo, and G.O.O.D Music producer Devo Springsteen on “Misunderstood.”

Common will shoot a video for the second single (and staging-rapup.kinsta.cloud’s favorite track) “The People” on June 9th in New York City. The Chi-Town MC will be performing at Central Park’s Summerstage Benefit Concert alongside Joss Stone today. Read our album preview here.
