We’ve known Common as our musical professor, our lyrical connoisseur and even our hip hop savior. Given those elements, Common has stayed relevant with his sound, his content and his image and with his new album Invincible, he falls anything but short in reaching those characteristics once again. His first single, “Universal Mind Control (U.M.C.)” is a fine tuned reason as to why Common will never remain in one lane. Although I wasn’t crazy about it off first listen, I can truly say it sounds NOTHING like what you’re hearing on your local radio station at this very moment.

You may raise your eyebrows when you click that link below, but I damn sure doubt you’ll be disappointed. U.M.C. is the lead off to Common’s eighth Lp, Invincible, which is scheduled to drop this July. Though Kanye West produced a bulk of Common’s last body of work, Finding Forever, his contributions this time around will be obsolete due to his Glow In The Dark Tour which concludes in Calagry, AB, Canada, Friday (May 30). Pharrell Williams and Outkast producer, Mr. DJ provided the soundscape for Common’s new LP.
