Common has been in the rap game for more than 20 years. And he has no plans on stopping anytime soon. The Chicago rapper just announced that he’s signed to the legendary Def Jam Records. Common also revealed that he has a new album dropping this summer: it’s called Nobody Smiling, and will be executive produced by long-time collaborator No I.D. (No I.D. produced Common’s 1994 breakout single, “I Used to Love.”) The first song released from the upcoming album is the Vince Staples-featured “Kingdom,” which is fire. Nobody Smiling has a release date of July 22…but you know how rap release dates are. Expect it in the fall. SOURCE: Def Jam | PHOTO CREDIT: GETTY
