Common Readies Finding Forever

With Common’s seventh studio album on its way, the Chicago lyricist played VIBE several tracks that will reside on Finding Forever.

A title he explains as a reference to the idea of long-time friend Jay Dee (J. Dilla) living on forever in the music.

"And now with the death of J Dilla and other things, you start thinking about forever lasting for real through music," Com told MTV. "Jay Dee will last forever through his music and hopefully generations down the line will know about Common through his music. And it's also saying: I been doing this for a nice period of time, so I'm trying to find the place where I can keep existing in the game and make music I love,” he continues.

A small list of what’s to come (shouts to VIBE magazine for the insight):

Drivin Me Wild (featuring Lily Allen; prod. by Kanye West)
So Far to Go (featuring D'Angelo; prod, by Jay Dilla)
Start the Show (prod. by Kanye West)
Break My Heart (prod. by Kanye West)
The People (featuring D’Angelo; prod. by Kanye West)
Misunderstood (Nina Simone sample; prod. by Devo Springsteen)
Black Maybe (featuring Bilal; prod. by Kanye West)
I Want You (prod. by will.i.am)
Southside (featuring Kanye West; prod. by Kanye West)

Common’s Finding Forever in stores July 10th.
