After producing his share of hits and featuring on several songs by other artists, musical polymath Pharrell Williams released his Grammy-nominated debut solo effort In My Mind in 2006. The album does a good job of highlighting Pharrell's diversity with a relatively equal mix of rap and R&B numbers and finds many of his former collaborators returning the favor such as Jay-Z, Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, Nelly, Slim Thug and Pusha T. "Going back and relistening to In My Mind, I was struck by how fresh it sounds...like it could have come out only last Friday and fit in perfectly alongside the year's most potent and colorful hip-hop hits" writes Uproxx's Aaron Williams.
