The album was released under Def Jam and producer No I.D.‘s label ARTium Records, and the project was solely produced by No I.D. Common explains that it’s still all love between himself and Kanye, though.

“G.O.O.D. Music that’s still my family,” Common said. “‘Ye is my brother, so, point blank business wise, it wasn’t like ‘Ye was like, ‘Yo, let’s just do this album.”

“We’re friends, but if we ain’t really gonna create together, it’s all good. We’re still brothers,” he continued. “I just think his focus was somewhere else — marriage, life, babies — good places. I cherish our friendship more than the music.”
