Common’s follow-up to his hugely popular Be album, Finding Forever, saw most of the production helmed by Kanye West and was also a part of G.O.O.D. Music’s wildly ambitious rollout. In the wake of Dilla’s passing, the overall feel and vibe of the album is colorfully soulful, a tribute of sorts to the legendary producer. In fact, “So Far To Go (featuring D’Angelo)” is actually credited to Dilla himself, as is the intro to “Southside.” The album was a success, topping the Billboard 200 at No. 1. Finding Forever is certified Gold and was nominated for three Grammys. Finding Forever is a star-studded, production-fueled, later-in-the game triumph for the Chicago rap veteran. This re-issue features the bonus track "Play Your Cards Right (featuring Bilal)" on vinyl for the first time.
