Early in the 1990s, Common (Lonnie Rashid Lynn Jr.) entered the hip-hop scene with the alias “Common Sense.”
The socially conscious rapper has worked with a wide range of musicians, including Ye (previously Kanye West), Erykah Badu, Talib Kweli (who will be performing at the library on Thursday, February 8th as part of Black History Month), Mos Def, John Legend, and many more.
He is well-known for his distinctive rap style, in which he speaks slowly and carefully to the point where it sounds like he’s reciting poetry aloud. The first rapper in history to win an Oscar, Grammy, and Emmy is Common.
In 2017, he was honored with an Emmy for his song “Letter to the Free,” which was included in the documentary “13th.” In 2015, he and John Legend shared an Oscar for the song “Glory” from the movie “Selma.” In addition, Common has three Grammy Awards, the most recent coming from “Glory” in 2016.

This Common event will take place at the Wilmington Public Library and does not require registration or tickets. Seating is first-come, first-served.
Common’s book tour is in support of his upcoming release, “And Then We Rise”: A Guide to Loving and Taking Care of Self.
Who is Common Dating Now?
There has been speculation for months that Jennifer Hudson and Common are romantically involved.
The most recent is a pre-recorded segment from the singer’s talk show, “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” in which she inquires whether the rapper has a significant other during an episode that airs on Monday, January 22 at noon on Channel 29 – WTXF/FOX.
Yes, and I’m in a relationship with one of the most stunning individuals I’ve ever laid eyes on. She is intelligent. She is devoted to God. There’s something genuinely grounded about her. “She is gifted,” Common answered. She had to win an EGOT, so I kind of raised the bar. He went on, “She needed to win an Oscar for her debut picture. “She had to get her own talk show.”
Hudson satisfies every requirement, including taking home an EGOT as well as an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award.
