Championing political activism and social justice through his verses, rapper, actor and philanthropist Common constantly adapts his artistic direction to reflect the changing world. Since his beginnings in Chicago—alongside veteran producer No I.D of Def Jam Records and GOOD Music—his frequent collaborations with icons like J. Dilla, Erykah Badu and Kanye West have placed Common at the center of forward-thinking hip hop across generations. His thought-provoking flow and the soulful influences of his recent projects have kept Common fresh and relevant in the landscape of contemporary hip-hop.
