Biography
Lonnie Rashied Lynn Jr., known professionally as [a=Common], was born on March 13, 1972, in Chicago, Illinois. He is a hip-hop artist, actor, and activist who emerged in the early 1990s under the name Common Sense. His debut album, Can I Borrow a Dollar? (1992), introduced his signature style, and he gained critical recognition with Resurrection (1994). His lyricism and storytelling, often infused with social commentary, set him apart in the hip-hop landscape. Common became closely associated with [a=The Soulquarians], a collective of musicians including [a=J Dilla], [a=Questlove], and [a=D'Angelo], contributing to the neo-soul and alternative hip-hop movement. His experimental fifth album, Electric Circus (2002), received mixed reviews, but he rebounded with BE (2005), a project produced largely by [a=Kanye West] and [a=J Dilla], which was widely praised. He continued this success with Finding Forever (2007), again collaborating with Kanye West, will.i.am, and Devo Springsteen. Beyond music, Common has established a career in acting, appearing in films such as American Gangster (2007), Smokin’ Aces (2006), and Wanted (2008). He has since balanced his careers in music and film while also being an advocate for social justice, education, and community empowerment.
