After weeks of teasing, N.E.R.D's new album No_One Ever Really Dies has arrived.

Their first full-length since 2010's Nothing, it was released Thursday night on digital streaming platforms, officially out on Friday. It includes previously released tracks "Lemon," featuring Rihanna; "1000," featuring Future; and "Don't Don't Do It!," featuring Kendrick Lamar, with an intro co-written by Frank Ocean.

While Pharrell has arguably been rather "Happy" in recent years, this new record focuses on some heavy material, a reaction to so much of the turmoil in America right now, including the numerous shootings of unarmed black men, the election of Donald Trump and the 71-year-old White House occupant's campaign to divide the country.

In addition the aforementioned collaborations, the album also features guest spots from André 3000, M.I.A., Wale, Gucci Mane and Ed Sheeran.
