Common released his debut album Can I Borrow A Dollar? October 6, 1992

Can I Borrow a Dollar? is the debut studio album by American rapper Common Sense, now known as Common, which was released on October 6, 1992, by Relativity Records. The album was entirely produced by No I.D. (then called Immenslope) and The Twilite Tone, with additional production by The Beatnuts, and includes guest vocals from Immenslope, Miss Jones, and Common’s then-girlfriend Rayshel. Entertainment Weekly’s Neil Drumming described it as “a clever but little-noticed first album”.

In 1991, a feature was written about Common in the Unsigned Hype section of The Source. Relativity Records soon signed Common and prepared to release three singles for his debut album. The first and best-charting single was 1992’s “Take It EZ”. It reached #5 on the Hot Rap Singles chart while his next two singles, “Breaker 1/9” and “Soul by the Pound,” reached #10 and #7 respectively. All of these singles combined to give Common a strong underground reputation prior to the album’s release.
