From the Artist

Common. Common Sense. Lonnie Rashid Lynn. No matter the name, the message is the same. As an MC, Common has always been known for focusing his skilled rhymes on the topics of love and spirituality, foregoing the trappings of bucks, bling, and booty. On early records, he acted as a prophet, preaching against the studio gangstas of the mid-1990s. He rhymes about the intense relationships and emotions that emerge between the men and women he sees as the hip hop generation. The success of 2005’s Be furthered his drive to promote love amongst his audience and peers.

Product Description

Commonication: The Smooth Jazz Sessions to the Music of Common is a down-tempo celebration of the music of this true leader in the hip hop community. By emphasizing the jazz-inflected hooks in Common’s music, Scufflin’ has reaffirmed the soulful, sensual side of the MC’s lyrics. This record, like so much of Common’s music, is both for and about the lovers in us all. Like the man himself, it is spiritual. It is universal. It just is.
