Common

A rap artist and film performer Common drew his first breath in Chicago. Unfortunately, nothing is known about the celebrity’s parents, except the fact that they are divorced. Also, there is no information whether he has any siblings or not.

A future star attended the Florida A&M University, specializing in business studies. He “won the lottery” when he performed at a competition called Unsigned Hype that was led by a leading American magazine about hip-hop music The Source.

Soon after that, he released his debut album Can I Borrow a Dollar? of 1992 that quickly made him one of the most recognized underground rappers. His music was often described as thoughtful and progressing. In addition to that, it was of such a high quality that it was compared to the top-selling artists of that time.

His second album Like Water for Chocolate got positive feedback from professional critics as well as commercial success. Later, the album became platinum.

Apart from music, Common is also a recognized figure in the moviemaking industry, having exceptional acting skills. He featured in such well-known TV projects as The Informer, Kitchen, Megan Leavey, Suicide Squad and many others.
