Well put, Pharell. It looks like the Neptunes have finally taken notice to the advent of Baltimore Club and Electro in today’s club/dance scene. Common’s latest single “Universal Mind Control” has been leaked and it’s electro-infused production (courtesy of Pharrell) is bangin! I used the track open with in my newest promo set Pristine Gleam. I think this is the first time I’ve heard Common spitting over a track that’s 120 BPM(!) I must say I hope it’s not the last. Take a listen for yourself:

P.S. I just remembered having a dream (I neverrrrrrrrrr remember my dreams) where I was in some restaurant and the original sample to “The Light” was being played on the radio, and all of the sudden everybody was vibin to it hardcore as if they all knew “The Light” sampled this. Maybe I should talk to my therapist about this and not my blog.
