One Day It'll All Make Sense by Common (Mu

From the hip hop icon, Hollywood star, and a true artist and writer of deep talent (James McBride, author of The Color of Water)--a candid, New York Times bestselling memoir ranging from his childhood on Chicago's South side and his emergence as one of rap's biggest names.

Common has earned a reputation in the hip-hop world as a conscious artist by embracing themes of love and struggle in his songs. His journey toward understanding is rooted in his relationship with a remarkable woman, his mother.

Common holds nothing back in this gripping memoir, both provocative and funny. He tells what it was like for a boy with big dreams growing up on the South Side of Chicago. He reveals how he almost quit rapping after his first album sold only two thousand copies. He recounts his rise to stardom and talks about the challenges of balancing fame, love, and family. Through it all, Common emerges as a man in full. Rapper. Actor. Activist. But also father, son, and friend. His story offers a living example of how, no matter what you've gone through, one day it'll all make sense.

Common is an award-winning musician who has won Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys, and Grammys. He's an actor and producer who's appeared in a number of critically praised films and popular television shows. Common is the author of the New York Times bestseller One Day It'll All Make Sense. He grew up in Chicago and now splits his time between Los Angeles and Brooklyn.
