N.E.R.D. returned this week with the infectious Lemon featuring Rihanna and now they’ve unveiled the entire album.
Pharrell and co took to the stage at ComplexCon in California and surprised the crowd by playing No_One Ever Really Dies in full.
As well as Rihanna, the 11-track record features Kendrick Lamar, M.I.A., Future, Ed Sheeran and more. Fans are now starting to flood social media with videos of the performance which was their first together in three years.
“The album’s not coming out tomorrow,” Pharrell told the crowd.
“We’re giving it to you. It’s yours. You got it before everybody else.”
That’s slightly cryptic though because the internet is speculating that the album will indeed be out tomorrow. Alex Gardner who is the managing editor of Pigeons & Planes, the sister site of Complex who were throwing the event, tweeted, “New N.E.R.D. album out tomorrow.”

If it doesn’t happen tomorrow then you’re just going to have to put up with these live clips of the new songs for a little bit longer.
This album will be their first since 2010’s Nothing.
