Synopsis: 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 Chicagos South side and his emergence as one of raps biggest names. The story I have to tell involves celebrity: how I broke into the rap game, the people Ive met, the places Ive been, my life in the spotlight. But on a more fundamental level this is a book about a mother and a son, a father and a daughter??? In the twenty years since his first release, Common, born Lonnie Rashied Lynn, has become one of the most successful artists in hip-hop. Winner of two Grammys and with nine successful albums to date, including 2010s The Believer, hes now a bona fide movie star, appearing in American Gangster, Date Night, and landing a starring role in Just Wright opposite Queen Latifah. Though Commons parents divorced when he was six, Lonnie Sr. remained an active presence, helping his son get a job as ball boy for the Chicago Bulls. But it was his mothers steady presence that provided him with the guidance to succeed on his own terms. Her far-reaching influence and Commons thoughtful account of his own journey through fatherhood form the heart and soul of this genuinely inspiring memoir. One Day Itll All Make Sense, is, like its subject, outspoken and sometimes controversial, yet indisputably powerful and profound.
