Common has confirmed that he has a new project on the way with Pete Rock and the heartbeat of the project will be centered around Hip Hop from the 1990s.
While appearing on the latest episode of MSNBC’s The Beat With Ari Melber, the Chicago rap icon broke the news of him collaborating with the legendary producer.
“I been listening to a lot of ’90s Hip Hop because I been creating a new project,” Common said. “I’m working on a new album with Pete Rock and just, the energy of that music, whether it’s Brand Nubian, A Tribe Called Quest, or De La Soul, because they just got their music on streaming, it’s been inspiring to hear.”
He added: “But I am creating new music right now. I’m in a great space.”
Common also spoke about Hip Hop’s 50th anniversary and said that he’s “a part of the progression” of the genre and that rap music “brings people together.”
