Kanye West and No I.D., arguably two of the greatest producers of our generation/all time, are linking up with Common, arguably one of the best MCs in the industry, for his upcoming album, The Believer. This should deem exciting news for all fans, seeing that most did not enjoy Universal Mind Control. Nonetheless, enjoy the write up by XXL below.

Common is returning to his roots. After linking with The Neptunes for the majority of last year’s dance friendly Universal Mind Control, the Chi-town MC is reuniting with Kanye West and No I.D. for his ninth studio album, The Believer.
During the benefit show for his Common Ground Foundation over the weekend, Com told XXLMag.com that he has already recorded tracks with Kanye and No I.D. for the project, which he expects to hit stores sometime next spring.
No I.D. has been producing songs for the rapper/actor ever since Com first broke out onto the scene in 1992 with Can I Borrow A Dollar? He went on to produce the majority of Common’s next two albums: Resurrection and One Day It’ll All Make Sense.
Along with signing the fellow Chicago resident to his G.O.O.D. Music imprint, Kanye produced the bulk of Com’s highest selling album 2005’s Be, as well as 2007’s Finding Forever.”
Sidebar: Love or hate Universal Mind Control, I think that it was a fantastic album. Though I am excited to see Common reunite with Kanye West and No I.D., Common’s last album with the Neptunes was great.
