Chicago seems to be a town with enough inspiration or good water that breeds a lot of successful and talented artists.. not to mention the pre-stomping ground for the the current Commander and Chief of the U.S.
Lonnie Rashid Lynn Jr., aka "Common" from the rap with a conscience/consciousness movement, has continued the illusion of a city chocked with inspiration.
Most recently Mr. Lynn co-starred with Queen Latifah in "Just Wright", a film and role where he didnt have to reach any farther than his dad as a study since Lonnie Lynn Sr. once played professional basketball in the ABA league. Whether college, writing, performing, designing or acting, this Chicago- bred talent keeps growing.
Check out Entourage's Jeremy Piven , also a CHItown product, set trends wearing one of his fav "skimmers", a "Sicillian revival of newsboy and Paperboy caps". designed by Lynn/Common's Soji hat line
