Next week, on May 11, the preternaturally talented New York MC Bishop Nehru will drop Nehruvia: The Nehruvian EP, his first solo offering since last year's collaboration with MF DOOM. But he's not holed up in a walkup waiting for web outlets to pick up his latest tape; Nehru just played back-to-back shows in Japan (in Osaka and Tokyo) as part of the buildup to this summer's series of North American dates. While he was across the sea, however, he decided to let loose of a new track that won't be on his EP. "Bishy In Japan 16 (Knowing Nothing)"  lashes out at those who think they know Nehru; to hear the young rapper tell it, their Rolodex is not as long as they think.
