Common Speaks New Album & Stars in New Terminator Movie

It looks like "Chi-Town's Nas" will be back two fold in upcoming months. A year after Finding Forever was dropped, Common will advance his catalog with Invincible Summer, which is to be released at some point in July. The first single, “Universal Mind Control (U.M.C.)” should be kicked out sometime in May. On board to contribute to the album, which may totally revamp our perception of Common's sound, are The Neptunes and Outkast producer Mr DJ. Then add in the guest vocals from Cee-Lo, Santogold, and Chester French, and you got a whole new kinda Common album (sweater vests still included).

If that wasn't enough, Common's also stepping up his acting by staring in the new Terminator film, which is slated to come out in 2009. He will star along side Christian Bale, in a move to hopefully introduce him to a larger audience- lets just hope he doesn't jump into an "Are We There Yet" extension afterward.
