Common One Day It'll All Make Sense : a Memoir This book by rapper, actor and activist Common is a fascinating memoir. I was drawn to the book because I’ve enjoyed his music throughout the years, and I’ve always sensed there was much more to him than the “socially conscious rapper” label he’s been given. In chronicling his formative years growing up on Chicago’s South Side and his rise to fame as a one-of-a-kind emcee (and budding actor), Common paints a colorful portrait of a complex and compelling artist and man.
