With N.E.R.D set to reunite at ComplexCon this weekend in Long Beach, the group comprised of Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo, and Shay Haley released their newest single, “Lemon” featuring none other then Rihanna.
This single is N.E.R.D’s first since their last album ‘Nothing’ dropped 7-years-ago. Over the busy, hypnotic production, Rihanna displays her rapping skills, while Pharrell does his thing and while he gets political raps, “If not now, then when / If not me, then who / Don’t drink the Kool-Aid, my friends / I tried to tell y’all about this dude!”
Aside from performing at ComplexCon this Saturday, November 4th, the group is apparently working on an album that will follow ‘Nothing’. Several N.E.R.D billboards have been appearing around L.A. The billboards read, “No One Ever Really Dies,” which is an acronym for N.E.R.D, but may also be the title of the group’s upcoming album.
Watch the video for “Lemon” and listen below.
