One Day It'll All Make Sense, The story of an uncommon life

"What story does a kid from the south side of Chicago have to tell?"

Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr aka Common, (aka, one of the most beautiful men on Earth, aka, my husband.. yes, that's right!) will be releasing his memoirs, to be in shops this week!

The highly respected (and well groomed) rapper/actor will now add 'author' to his title as his first book gets published by Atria Bookas.
The autobiography explores his upbringing  in Chicago as well as the relationships closest to him.

Interestingly, the contextually aware artist  begins 
each chapter with a letter to those important people whom have made a print in his life. Thankfully, it also delves into the critically acclaimed performance at the White House, his experiences within social politics and his romantic relationships (bet she's ringing down Tyrone's phone now!).




"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"


I hope this letter finds you in the place where you are
".willing and ready to progress in your life. I hope this book not only entertains you but also helps you grow in a spirit of openness. I write to you wishing, praying, and sending the best love to you. This is my story, the story of an uncommon life.
Love,
Common
