Common will be taking his talents to the small screen amid the quarantine.
The Chicago-bred rapper/actor will appear on the latest mini-episode of the Fraggle Rock: Rock On!, which is streaming for free on Apple TV+. And there are no worries about Common potentially exposing himself to COVID-19 on set either. All of the mini-episodes are being shot at home on iPhone 11s by each person involved with the show.
