You know I’m an N*E*R*D fanatic, so you know I’d have this new joint that they performed this summer with Santigold at MTV’s Spring Break. Off their new album,  I like both versions, so in addition to the CD quality version, I’ve got the live joint they did this spring. Interested in which one you dig more, so feel free to throw your opinion in the comments section. Enjoy.

my man brian put me on rockwell knuckles a while back, but after i got this track in the early AM and let it bang on these KRK monitor speakers, i was sold.

the north st. louis representive brings a different sound than other STL artists that we’re more familiar with (nelly, j-kwon, huey, etc.). i see this guy making some power moves because he’s a crafty hitmaker, as this joints illustrates. for that full effect, make sure you have some speakers that knock. trust me.
