It’s may be hard to believe that John Mayer—up there with the Stetson hat over long brown locks—has a hip-hop bone in his body. But trust, he gets love in the rap community and has collaborated with some of hip-hop's heavyweights.

This week the reformed loudmouth released a humble yet stellar album, Born and Raised, that ranks right up there with his best work. To mark the occasion, Complex thought it’d be cool to highlight some of the work he’s done in the rap world. Keep clicking to hear John crooning with Common, freestyling during a show, and playing the guitar with Jay-Z.
