So if you don't know, the N.E.R.D. album drops on June 10th, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Go out and buy this album because it's damn amazing, even if Pharrell annoys me sometimes.

Anyway, I was going to post another track ("Love Bomb") to wet your appetite (and get you ready for the Listening Party), but I stumbled upon this little tidbit about Res recording the original of their song "You Know What."  This was not supposed to be a Res song apparently--its simply a reference track for Pharrell in the studio.

Y'all know how much we love Res here so we give her as much shine as possible, and I wish Res could drop this track on an album. (via Soul Bounce, 2 Dope Boyz)
