Coming fresh off the release of his new album, Nobody’s Smiling, Common is doing his usual promo runs and making his rounds with various publications. While out in NYC, Com Sense sat down for a “1-2-1″ conversation with fashion designer Jeff Staple and the two looked back on a few classic records Common recorded as a youngin’ (like “I Used to Love H.E.R.” and “It’s Your World.”).
Common also talked about how the violence in Chicago inspired his new album, and how working with Kanye West made him a better artist.
