Video And Pics After The Jump

The staff at Def Jam Records came up with a unique concept for Common's forthcoming Nobody Smiling album cover. They presented the idea to Common of doing several different covers featuring photos of Chicago rappers like Lil Herb, G Count, Dreezy, King Louie and others against a black backdrop.

Com loved the idea and we have the results for you to check out below as well as the concept video.

Common recently stopped by Los Angeles radio station Power 106 to chop it up with Justin Credible and J Cruz of the L.A. Leakers.

While there he blessed the mic with a nice off the top of the head freestyle, which is slowly becoming a lost art form with artists now calling pre-written rhymes freestyles. Check that out below.
