Common, Kanye Find Forever

Common's Be drew in millions of dollars and platinum sales. So where is his return? After recieving critical praise for his last LP with Kanye manning the boards, Com has been working extensively on Finding Forever. According to Kanye West, Common's next LP may win the 2007 Grammy for Rap Album of the Year. "You will be happy with Finding Forever," he exclaimed to MTV. "We're halfway done. We're going to be dropping in September, and the first single is going to be called 'The Glory.' I'm just excited. I want to scream it from the top of the mountaintop."West also explained that the Forever sessions have inspired his own album, Graduation. "We're back at home in the studio, talking sh-- about any and everything and doing music as a sidebar," he added. "We'd get in the studio and just talk sh--, and I'd be like, 'Oh, by the way, listen to this beat,' and we'd work on it. It was a real easy environment, and I might have a couple of beats off [my next album] Graduation [coming from the sessions]."Other artists on Good Music that plan on releasing LPs soon are John Legend and Farnsworth Bentley.
