In his new memoir, One Day It’ll All Make Sense, Chicago-born actor/rapper Common, gives readers a revealing, gripping, and raw look into his life and journey from boy to man.
In this deeply personal, introspective memoir, Common unveils himself, layer by layer, from his childhood on the streets of the South Side of Chicago; to grappling with the decision to leave college, disappointing his mother, and pursuing a career in hip hop; to emerging as a talented recording artist faced with all the trappings of fame and success but working hard to remain true to himself and the people who’d supported him along the way. “People who know me as Common might find it hard to believe some of the things that made me Rashid,” says Common. “That’s partly why I’ve written this book, so that I can show myself as a man in full. That means telling some tough truths, revealing my faults and vulnerabilities. But it also means showing the true strength of my character.”
Yesterday, Common kicked-off the launch of his book tour at Barnes & Noble in New York where he was interviewed by MTV’s resident VJ, Sway, before a crowd of over 300 fans.
