Work began on the new album tentatively titled "Finding Forever" last year. The first track recorded was supposed to be a remix of "Go" (featuring D'Angelo and produced by JDilla) but it was so drastically different from the original they considered it a new song. Kanye is supposedly on board again for the majority of the LP.

It's supposed to be released this fall.

I heard that when they were making Be, Dilla had done about 50% of the tracks... but when it was released there was only like 2 jams of his left on there, while the rest were by the executive producer Kanye.

I wanna hear those other Dilla Be jawns.

Me too. After Like Water For Chocolate and Electric Circus, Common thought he was being pigeon-holed into that boho a.k.a "Soulquarian" sound and wanted to venture out of it.

Be was definitely solid, but I prefer his more experimental music.

" As far as official LPs go, 'Ye said he may not come out with another album this year, but he expects Common's Finding Forever to be out in September. The first single, "The Glory," is slated for summer. ...

Yeah, Dilla had a big part of that experimental sound on Electric Circus, and I think the abstract style was a positive move for hiphop but definitely less commercial.

If he is ever spinning records in your city, go see him! ?uest has a crazy record collection.

And he's a Prince fan so you know he's got an ear similar to this forum's.

I'm glad my boy is coming back out sooner than later. He tends to take forever to put out new music.
