One of these has been floating around for more than a week now, and with the release date of December 9th quickly approaching the entire album has leaked in various formats.  I really like the sound of Universal Mind Control and What a World, but I’m sad to say that the collab with Kanye is not the best.

For sure, this is a much different sound for Common – a departure from his very jazzy roots.  The beats sound much less instrumental and more synthetic.

Have a listen for yourself, and let us know what you think!
