On the heels of 2005’s “Be,” which debuted at a career-best No. 2 on The Billboard 200, Common has set a July 10 release date for his next Geffen album, “Finding Forever.” The set features production from Kanye West, will.i.am, the late J Dilla and Devo Springsteen, while Bilal and Dwele sing background vocals on a couple of tracks as well.

The first single is the West-produced “The People,” which Common describes as a “declaration type of song.” Another of West’s productions is a song called “Black Maybe.”Â More.
