N.E.R.D. releases the artwork for their forthcoming album ‘Nothing.’ On the cover, Pharrell is looking like ‘chief-lots-a-dough’ while rocking a head piece that resembles a native american headdress with a military flair.

Last month we posted a new track by Lauryn Hill titled “Repercussions”. We are happy to say that the song has debuted on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop charts at No. 94. With all of the airplay and the fact that it is a great song we expect it to continue to climb! Repercussions is her […]
