Nylon TV is giving its readers a little look into their upcoming issue with a video segment of the Common photo shoot.

The mini-adventure is an entire journey through the shoot beginning in the car ride with Common. He jokes, raps and profiles the journey through New York and into the photo shoot.

The Chicago actor/[rapper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/syna-collection) began as a [hip-hop star](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-you-more) but has made a smooth transition onto the silver screen.

As Common says, “Love is too weak to define.”
