Common kicked off the Daily Mail's spectacular off-the-record party in New York City on Wednesday night with a mind-blowing rooftop show.
The multi-award-winning rapper, 52, took to the stage at the exclusive party at Arlo Williamsburg in Brooklyn with a 360-degree backdrop of the city behind him.
Exiting to applause, Common quickly entertained guests with classics including The Light and Come Close.
At one point, he even freestyled a special track for 90 Day Fiance star Angela Diem, who joined him on stage.
Before his intimate show, Common – who is dating singer and actress Jennifer Hudson – lit a palo santo stick, revealing he meditates and says a prayer before each performance.

'I have palo santo, I light it, I pray,' he said. 'I listen to music. Sometimes jazz music, sometimes 90s R&B.
'Music is going to give me the mood and inspiration I need and then I make sure I bond with my cast mates.'

He enthused: 'This is the world's first look at Flowerboy, and we're calling it a social soda because it's a micro-dose THC product, but it doesn't get you high, it makes you social!'
Kyle also brought a beautiful orange can to the party to give DailyMail.com a preview of the soon-to-be-dropped drink.
It contains 5 milligrams of THC and 5 grams of sugar, and Kyle says drinking it can make you feel better.
Throughout the evening, guests sipped on Daily Mail-themed cocktails, including a margarita drink renamed the Citrus Sensation and a gin, lemon and honey mix, Buzzy.
They also feasted on empanadas and sliders d'oeuvres.
