From beginnings in neo-soul to outspoken political leanings, Common has been there, done that – now it's time for a change. Roping in the Neptunes on production duties and calling on Kanye and Cee-Lo for collabs, 'Universal Mind Control' sends Common into uncharted territory, throwing up a harder, more futuristic record – one for the party crowd!

One of the most important figures in the last 20 years of Hip Hop has finally returned. 'Renaissance' is the long awaited comeback record from the founder member of A Tribe Called Quest, seamlessly mixing live and digital sounds and bringing the genre's past firmly into the present. Features production from J Dilla as well as appearances from Norah Jones and Raphael Saadiq.

The 10 x Grammy Award winning rapper and producer takes listeners on a journey constructed from echoing drum machines; futuristic sounding electro-soul; vocodered singing and distant, dampened piano - setting new standards once again in the process. Features guest appearances from rappers Young Jeezy and Lil Wayne, as well as additional production from Herbie Hancock on the track 'Robocop'.

Erick and Parish have always meant business. Or so we thought. Apparently, now they mean business. So this must be good. With over 20 years in the game, earning props and legendary status for delivering bonafide classics, they return with their highly respected 8th album. All-star guest appearances from Redman, KRS-One, Method Man, Havoc, Raekwon, Teddy Riley, and more.
