Yessurr !!
They call him Skateboard P. a.k.a Pharrell Williams (one half of the Neptunes) producer extraordinaire and his solo album "In My Mind" is slick as snot. Pharrell rhymes so vividly over his trademark beats, but those beats are not your typical Neptunes beats. Pharrell has really branched out here, sounding fresher than ever, distinguishing himself from the artists he produces, such as his partner in crime Chad Hugo, his N.E.R.D projects, and the rest of the everyday rapper you hear on the radio.
There's not a track on the "In My Mind" that will cause you to press the skip button. Thus making this album one of the most original rap/R&B albums since Run D.M.C.'s "Walk This Way" featuring Aerosmith. Skateboard P. comes out smelling like a rose on this one, not recycling any of his tracks or beats. Oh!!! Did I mention the all-star cast Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, Pusha T? The list goes on. Whatcha still sittin' there for.... go get the album.
