After reporting his new deal with Warner Bros, Common took the time to chop it up with MTV News on how it came about. Mogul Lyon Cohen played a major part in the signing.
“Point blank, I got a call from [Warner CEO] Lyor Cohen. He was like, ‘Look, man, I know who you are. I always told you, you was one of my favorite MCs, and I really meant that. I felt the sincerity in what he was saying. He didn’t tell me, ‘We’re going to do this, do that.’ He was more like, ‘I know how we can do your record, and I want to work this. I want this to be on my roster.’ “

What critics are saying about Gary Clark Jr…
“Austin resident Gary Clark Jr., who may be the city’s next big music star flashed his blend of blues, soul and rock, mixing fluid, muscular guitar with rootsy bark or a falsetto croon” – The Wall Street Journal
“Austin’s own Gary Clark Jr. opened Rolling Stone’s second showcase with a potent electric-blues set at La Zona Rosa. The charismatic 27-year-old guitarist, whose instrumental skills earned him a spot at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads festival last year, tore through hot licks and eloquent solos with a three-piece backing band to help fill out his sound. He was a strong vocalist, too, breaking out a yearning Smokey Robinson-style falsetto for a love ballad called “Please Come Home.” – RollingStone.Com
“Warner Bros. has a virtuosic new act in Gary Clark Jr. This is blues-based rock with an eye toward a groove, and Clark effortlessly wields his guitar into and out of solos. – The Los Angeles Times
You can add MDTV to the list of good critics. The kid got a very bright future ahead of him. We applaud Warner Bros for noticing the talent & signing the brother. If you’re into live band music, this is for you. The strings from the guitar will touch your soul… literally! Remember the name of Gary Clark Jr. Won’t be the last time you’ll hear from him on MsDramaTV.com. Support the musician by purchasing his self titled EP on Amazon
