Seven Year Scratch

N.E.R.D.
No One Really Dies
[Columbia - 2017]

No review just some bullet points:

• First album in 7 years

• More Neptunes than N.E.R.D. (to us, anyway)

• Practically a Pharrell solo album (Chad Hugo plays keys on 4 tracks)

• A bunch of guests (among them: Andre 3000, Kendrick Lamar, Rhianna, Ed Sheeran)

• Lyrics touch on border control, corporate influence on government, police brutality and racism
