Well shit, N.E.R.D has just swung straight out of the mid-2000s and back into existence with a fuego new tune. Even better, it has Rihanna delivering some bars.
Lemon is the first new track from the era-defining hip-hop hybrid collective since they, uh, delivered a suite of tracks for The SpongeBob Movie in 2014.
Fortunately for everyone who cares more for the group’s minimalist, staccato hooks than average children’s films, the track is a welcome return to form.
Oh, did we mention Rihanna? Yeah, she crushes it.
The newie comes after a guerilla marketing campaign pointing towards a new record from Pharell Williams, Chad Hugo, and Shae Haley. We hope you kept your oversized BAPE hoodies for that one.
