Pharrell dropped an unreleased track from N.E.R.D. titled “Locked Away” over this past weekend during his Apple Music’s ‘OTHERtone’ radio show. The track is vintage N.E.R.D., boasting amazing drums and keys paired with classic Pharrell crooning. "You make my world living/You make your world giving," sings Skateboard P on the hook. It's a fantastic record that will have N.E.R.D. fans praying a new album drops from the hip-hop group. Other than their contribution to the Spongebob Squarepants soundtrack, there hasn't been any new music from the collective in a while. The last LP fans got from the group was in 2010 with Nothing. Listen to “Locked Away” record below.

During OTHERtone, Tyler, the Creator—one of Pharrell's biggest fans—was featured as the special guest. Listen to the full episode here. A highlight of the show was Pharrell telling Tyler a story about the times he met Michael Jackson (see below). Tyler shared his own story about meeting André 3000, Denzel Washington and Hans Zimmer at Coachella.
