N.E.R.D. have revealed one of their most-anticipated collaborations to-date, teaming up with Kendrick Lamar for Don’t Don’t Do It.

From a conceptual point-of-view, Don’t Don’t Do It quotes the wife of Keith Lamont Scott who was killed by North Carolina police last year. In the incident, Scott’s wife pleads with officers for the victim’s life, whilst filming the full altercation on her phone.
