Common
Finding Forever
In Stores July 31st
Make sure to come to the Santa Monica Promenade at noon on July 31st to see Common!
Finding Forever, Common's highly anticipated 7th album, is executive produced by Kanye West, a multi-platinum producer. Since his last record, he has been in the spotlight with GAP, the Converse RED campaign, and Brand Jordan.
He's been on the cover of Ebony Magazine twice in the last year, and recently on the cover of Vibe with Kanye West and John Legend. He also made his big screen debut in Smoking Aces this year, and will be in American Gangster in November. To put it mildly, Common is a star, and this record proves it.
