André 3000 released his debut solo album New Blue Sun in November, while Common has been hard at work crafting a joint project with Pete Rock.

The Chicago rap veteran recently fueled excitement for the project by claiming it’s among his top five albums.

“Y’all gon’ think I’m just talking, but this new Pete Rock joint,” he said at a conference last month. “I’ma see y’all when I come back, whenever I’m back, and y’all can tell me if I’m bullshittin’ or not. It’s in my top,” he said.

“I’ve had a couple people coming in saying, ‘Yo, this is one of your best albums.’ So I’m excited about it.”

Common also previously revealed that the album is inspired by ’90s Hip Hop.

“I been listening to a lot of ’90s Hip Hop because I been creating a new project,” he said on MSNBC’s The Beat With Ari Melber in September.

“I’m working on a new album with Pete Rock and just, the energy of that music, whether it’s Brand Nubian, A Tribe Called Quest, or De La Soul, because they just got their music on streaming, it’s been inspiring to hear. But I am creating new music right now. I’m in a great space.”
