Stage Name: Common (formerly Common Sense)
Social conscious Rapper Common went almost unnoticed Underground for a couple years until a surge in the latter part of his career. He is one of the few that falls in the category of Positive Lyricist. Please take a listen here and Happy Hip Hop Tuesday: Take it EZ , Book of life , Breaker 1/9 , The 6th sense , The Light , Retrospect of life ft. Lauryn Hill , Resurrection , Soul by the pound , The Corner ft. The Last Poets , Time Travelin' (a tribute to Fela) , The B in Yoo , Love of my life (an ode to Hip Hop) with Erykah Badu and I used to love H.E.R.
