Posted May 15, 200718 yr New Album Tidbit: New Producer Producer: Devo Springsteen Representing: G.O.O.D. Music Mixtape: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly 411: If you ask producer Devo Springsteen about Kanye West and company, it's still all good. Springsteen, who laid the beat for "Diamonds from Sierra Leone" from West's Late Registration, is readying a few G.O.O.D. Music-related projects despite rumors of dissent swirling around the pastel set. He recently produced a track, "Misunderstood," for Common's forthcoming Finding Forever; he's about to put out a Bacardi-sponsored mixtape highlighting Consequence and GLC; and he's in the studio with 'Ye working on his next album. "I don't know the ins and outs, legally, what is what, but I know I just got back from L.A. and I was in the studio with Kanye, Common and Sa-Ra, and I know I'm going to Japan on tour with Consequence at the end of the month," Devo said. "So it's still there and it still exists and everyone is still putting out records. GLC's album is gonna have a G.O.O.D. Music logo. I'm in talks to put out a G.O.O.D. Music major-label album. It's definitely still there. ... There's not a central distribution place [at the moment], but the movement is still there." In addition to working with the fam, Springsteen said he has sessions scheduled soon with Britney Spears, Aretha Franklin and Dead Prez. He said to expect a Dead Prez/ Nas collabo he produced called "Association" to hit the Net soon, but in the meantime, he also said to look out for big things from West's Graduation album. "[He's] about to be on some whole different global superstar sh--," Springsteen said. "He's already a star, but on some other bigger sh--. Some Spice Girls sh--." Source: MTV
