If you happen to be in the M.I.A. tomorrow night, we’ve got a chance for you to check out the latest event from Heineken’s Red Star Soul concert series. The Miami date—which is the last stop on the tour’s 9-show run—features Complex homies N.E.R.D and Mick Boogie. For 2 tickets to the show, answer a simple trivia question below…
If N.E.R.D’s addition of sexy female member Rhea turns them into ubiquitous, radio mainstays (a la Black Eyed Peas post-Fergie), it won’t be because they started making sellout, pop music. The Pharrell-fronted band performed a record by the name of “WTF” or “Radio” on 90210 last night, and it seems like they aren’t making any drastic departures from their beloved signature sound. Which is good, because the new song sounds dope. We’re looking forward to hearing the full version on Instant Gratification sometime next year. Nevermind the corny dude raising the roof at the 50 second mark though. We usually don’t watch this show either.
Tune in to Complex.com every morning at 8 AM for your daily “Wake N’ Watch” video.
Left To Right: Pharrell, Big Boi, Brandon Flowers, Young Jeezy, Tyga
