About the artist
Two-time Grammy Award®-winning Chicago rapper, actor Common, has carved out an impressive career. In more than a dozen films, including such major box office successes as American Gangster (2007), Street Kings (2008), Terminator Salvation (2009), Date Night (2010), and more, Common is also the lead co-star on AMC’s post-Civil War western action series Hell On Wheels. In July 2014, Common released NOBODY’S SMILING, marking a creative reunion between Common and his long-time friend and collaborator No I.D., EVP / Co-Head of A&R, Def Jam Recordings, who came of age in the ’90s as producer of Common’s first three albums (on then-indie Relativity). The 2014 release of NOBODY’S SMILING, executive produced by No I.D., commemorates the 20th anniversary of Common’s breakthrough album Resurrection (1994), with his signature tracks, “Resurrection” and “I Used To Love H.E.R.”
