Can I Borrow a Dollar? is the 1992 debut album by Chicago rapper Common, then known as Common Sense, released in the U.S on October 6, 1992. The album was entirely produced by No I.D(then called Immenslope), The Beatnuts and Twilite Tone. It contains 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, 1992's "Take It EZ," boasted an upbeat 2 pc. DRK production. "Take It EZ" 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.
