Common held a private listening session for his upcoming eighth album, "Invincible Summer", BILLBOARD.COM reports.

The Chicago-based artist said his new material has a "feel good/summer time" appeal to it.

Maybe his relationship with tennis champion Serena Williams has some sort of inspiration behind the lyrical content but that's just my opinion!

"Invincible Summer" certainly echoed the same sentiment for Common's busy schedule. Common just wrapped up the action flick, "Wanted" which will be in theaters on June 27th - just three days shy of his album release date.

In addition to his active film career, Common also become the face of Lincoln Navigator. He also launched a hat line called Soji.


Featured artists on Common's record are Santogold, Chester French, and Cee-Lo. "Universal Mind Control (U.M.C)" supposedly would be the lead single off Common's forthcoming disc.
