Common announced his excitement and gratitude for Dr. Angelou‘s addition to his latest album. In an interview with The Boombox he shared,

“I met Maya Angelou. It was a benefit I was doing for this foundation. It was this poet that was supposed to do it and he didn’t do it, so my mother told somebody who worked on my team ‘Why don’t we see if we can get in touch with Maya Angelou,’ and then out of nowhere she [Maya] was like, ‘OK, I’ll do it.’ So she did it and we’ve been cool ever since.”

Sweet. The Dreamer, The Believer will be in stores on November 22nd.
