Pharrell Williams-led hip-hop group, was making a comeback to the music scene with a new project. Although it hasn’t been confirmed, speculation concerning the group’s resurgence has been building more momentum. Now, a lot of fans suspect that a collaboration with them and Rihanna is dropping tomorrow.
Rumors of a N.E.R.D. and Rihanna track started when Pharrell encouraged people to tune into Beats 1 on Wednesday (Nov. 1) for a special surprise. “Turn on @beats1 tomorrow at 9a PT / noon ET,” Pharell tweeted. Zane Lowe also tweeted the announcement with a blurry image.

Fans started to believe the blurry photo actually depicts Rihanna. So with very little to go on, fans hit Twitter with their predictions. “Omg… The rumors actually might be true! Rihanna x N.E.R.D. might be happening,” one person said.

The single starts off with Pharrell saying, “The truth will set you free, but first, it’ll piss you off,” before Rihanna and Pharrell go back and forth trading bars. It’s a dope re-entry for N.E.R.D. It’s especially nice to hear Pharrell going into the zone that foreshadowed his greatness.
