What we’ve all been waiting for: Universal Mind Control is scheduled to be released and Common is very excited, “…as long as I’ve been making music I always wanted to challenge myself. This album is a lot of free music, a lot of feel good music. I didn’t overthink the subject matters and made music you can dance too, ride out too, and have fun too. I wanted to give people something to smile about, enjoy, and let loose."

Originally scheduled to be released this summer under the title Invincible Summer, Common opted for a later date, December 9th with a new title, Universal Mind Control. Befitting of the times and the sound of the music Common states the reasons for his push back were the film Terminator Salvation which he was filming and not being able to finish the album in the period he wanted to. He said “'Man Universal Mind Control is the perfect title for the sound of the music. UMC fits the theme of what the album is about. That sounds like something from back in the days to something futuristic. Check me out on the website Zune.net, y'all can get the whole album for 99 cents the day the album is released, y'all can't beat that, my music is priceless. [Laughs]"
