Billboard.com is reporting that this afternoon, Warner Bros. co-president/CEO Todd Moscowitz announced the signing at a Warner Bros. function and Common was on hand to confirm the news.

“I’m very grateful to be a part of this family, to be a part of this team,” Common told crowd in the Warner Bros. Records courtyard. “We have very inspirational, exciting music to team up with you. We’re just open to what this change can bring.”

We’re still waiting for that Nas/Comm single that was supposed to drop yesterday and for which the snippet leaked out last month.

Out Da Box TV is proud to bring you Part 1 of a special Beat Life episode with legendary hip hop producer “Large Professor”. We caught up with Large at a recent studio session, where he was gracious enough to speak with us. He touched on a number of topics including how he got his name, facing early industry obstacles, wanting to work with 2 Pac, and how his hustle has changed in the music biz. He even speaks on one of his greatest memories of recording “Illmatic”. We were also able to talk with some fellow artists who have shared successful relationships with Large, including Neek The Exotic, J Love, Lord Finesse and Cormega. It was definitely an honor and a pleasure to build with one of the greatest producers Hip Hop as ever seen. We captured so much that we had to break this piece in 2 parts. So for now, please take the time to enjoy Part 1 and Stay tuned for Part 2 next week.
