On Dec. 15, N.E.R.D.’s fifth studio album, No_One Ever Really Dies, will be available worldwide. The band (consisting of Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo, and Shay Haley) pulled in some famous friends to work with, and have unveiled a new track called ‘Don’t Don’t Do It!’, a collaboration with Kendrick Lamar and Frank Ocean. Pharrell explained how the track was inspired by the death of Keith Scott, an African-American man fatally shot by police last year. Williams went on to explain how Ocean wrote the intro to the song, and called Kendrick “incredible and brilliant.”
