Common emerged in the 1990s as a leading voice in conscious rap, starting with his collaboration with No I.D. on *Resurrection* (1994), which featured the iconic track “I Used to Love H.E.R.” Over the next two decades, he tackled Black sociopolitical issues through albums like *Like Water for Chocolate* (2000) and *Be* (2005). With an Emmy, Grammy, and Oscar, he’s just one Tony away from EGOT status. Common remains a trusted hip-hop ambassador, using his platform to speak with purpose and conviction.
