Bape founder and current Kenzo creative director Nigo is not only a big name in the fashion world, but also a significant voice in music circles, working with some of hip-hop's most notable acts as a DJ and producer in addition to being part of the group Teriyaki Boys. Tomorrow he's releasing a compilation album called I Know Nigo that has a stellar set of names, including Clipse, A$AP Rocky, A$AP Ferg, Kid Cudi, Pharrell, Gunna, Pop Smoke, and Tyler, the Creator. The latter has shared a sneak peek at one of the tracks he contributed called "Come on, Let's Go," which was produced by Pharrell. Tyler also released a self-directed video for the track.
The song centers around Tyler waiting on his girl to get ready. If you're a punctual person—which it seems Tyler is, rapping that "punctual" is his "proper name"—being late can be the most infuriating thing. It's especially irritating when the person you're waiting on said they'd only need five minutes, which turns to 10, which nears 20, and then all hell breaks loose. "I told yo' ass be readyyyyy," he groans ahead of the first verse. "You lackin', you trippin', you slackin' / Impatiently waiting, confused like what happened," he continues, his frustration building. Whether it's the principle of sticking to a schedule or treasuring the value of every minute, Tyler captures the urgency of living life by the clock.
The single comes with a striking visual, which features a Pharrell cameo and Tyler getting so antsy he climbs up on the roof while his girl is getting ready inside. Check out the video below, and pre-order I Know Nigo here.
