Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 tour came through Seattle this weekend and pretty much shut down the city. Along with Hov, J. Cole, Wale, and N.E.R.D. performed and all the opening acts came through our station (KUBE 93) to chop it up before the show.

In these clips, the homies Karen Wild and Producer L talk with Pharrell, Shay, and N.E.R.D.’s newest member, Rhea, all about their upcoming Instant Gratification album. They also revealed some secrets behind their creative process in the studio and gave lots of insight to the motivation behind their art. Some lucky listeners also got to ask the group a few questions as well.

I strongly suggest checking out a N.E.R.D. show live.

Chaka Kahn, N.E.R.D., a very pregnant M.I.A. & T.I. came out to celebrate Diesel’s 30th anniversary in Brooklyn last night. This was one leg of a worldwide 17 city celebration including cities like Dubai, Tokyo & London. M.I.A. came out to assist T.I. with is verse on, “Swagga Like Us,” while N.E.R.D. later came out to help M.I.A. perform her hit, “Paper Planes.” M.I.A. managed to bust out some moves while being a few months pregnant with a huge stomach(her fiance is the son of the Chairman of Warner Music). Check out more footage below(Joy Daily’s Recap) and Diesel.com.
