The Rebirth of Common continues. Finding Forever continues the
late-career resurgence of the ‘thoughtful’ MC from Chi-Town. The first
single, “The People,” is a hip-hop anthem in the purist sense, and the
relationship ode, “Drivin’ Me Wild,” features Lily Allen’s cooing
vocals. DJ Premier makes a welcome appearance on “The Game.” Produced
almost entirely by fellow South Sider Kanye West, this album proves
that the Chicago connection is just as potent the second time around –
maybe even more so. -dusty culpepper
