Hi les amis,

Prince will contribute to a guitar solo on one tune of the new cd of great rapper Common, “Electric Circus” (MCA/Universal). Guess what: on this particular tune, the singer will be... Bilal !

Soundz nice... (The album is due on december, 10th)

Ol' seraphin limier 2 the maxx.

First they say he's playing guitar

But now according to Common & MTV:

he's playing keyboards.

Regardless, It's just good to have him on the CD.

Also, check the front cover. It's full of faces of the guest artists, friends of Common, etc.

I think Prince's photo is the one in the top left hand corner in purple. It looks like a photo from the Parade era with Prince wearing sunglasses and holding microphone (although im probably wrong)

For more info on this CD, go to:

...and Jimi Hendrix is in the bottom left hand corner, also in purple...

Until now I always read that he plays guitar on the track. So I guess that's right, not keyboards.

I heard Common talkin about the Prince track on 106 & Park and he was saying the song was about a phone sexline...I'm remembering something that sounded like "Star69" as being the title...4give me if thats not right...

this is a very cool thing to happen 4 a brotha like common.so i say hatz off to him & prince 4 hookin' up i can't wait 2 hear it. P.S. i can't seem 2 find the album cover so if u could please post it. thanx :PEACE: & B WILD!!!
