Common decided to join street performer Ray Wimley for a freestyle during New Orleans' Essence Music Festival.

The multi-talented rapper, actor, and philanthropist joined in on Ray Wimley's freestyle to a crowd of people in the street, going back to back with the performer to roll bars off the top of their heads.

Common posted the video to his YouTube, writing, "I was riding down the street a few years ago in New Orleans an ran across this dope street musician named Ray Wimley. What caught my attention was that he was really and truly freestyling! And he was GOOD! So this year at Essence Fest our paths crossed again but this time I joined in. I’m telling y’all right now, he’s special!"

Last month Common linked with Daniel Caesar on new single "HER Love".

Common will be performing at London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire on 10 September. Find out more.
