Chicago, IL -- Industry vet

Common

has released the video for the title track and first single of his upcoming LP,

Universal Mind Control

. In this hyper-stylized, Hype Williams-directed affair, the emcee raps inside of a portable Mp3 player, as a robotic friend covers

Pharrell

's hook and background vocals.

Universal Mind Control

, Common's eighth studio album, is scheduled to drop early next month.
