Text EntriesCommon (Lonnie Rashid Lynn b. 1972), is a rapper, actor, and poet. His debut album Can I Borrow a Dollar? was released in October 1992. The album introduced listeners to Common's early style of rapping. His early style of rhyme and lyricism contained heavy vocal delivery, wordplay, and pop-culture allusions. Throughout the 90s and early 2000s, Common achieved mainstream success through his membership with the Soulquarians, a Hip-Hop and R&B Collective of Black music artists such as Erykah Badu, Mos Def, Q-Tip, J Dilla, and Questlove.
