N*E*R*D pulling a B.E.P???


Proph who manages to stay on top of everything came across some new information pertaining N*E*R*D flipping the script. Apparently for the trio's upcoming fourth studio album they are going to add a female to the group. Whilst it's not 100%, it's certainly more than 50% positive that Rhea will be joining the group.

Rapper Fam-Lay tweeted, "Her names Rhea.. She's the new member of N.E.R.D.!! & she dope!!". Of course he quickly removed the tweet but the good/bad thing about Twitter is their server is a tad-bit slow and even when you delete a tweet you can still search the person and the tweet will still be there as it takes a day or two to be removed. Warning to be careful what you tweet, esp. if your account is public.

Anyway, back to what we were discussing, Rhea has also revamped her Myspace page with a new picture under the heading "Rhea 2.0 : Be Prepared". She even performed with the trio at the Lovebox Festival in London recently. Despite a failed start at a solo career, if Rhea joins the group she may be able to do that later down the line a la Fergie with the Black Eyed Peas.

N*E*R*D has been active for eight years so this is pretty surprising to find out. Also, Rhea is not exactly the first female that comes to mind to join such a group but at first glance Fergie didn't fit B.E.P. and look what her being added did for their commercial success. This fourth album of theirs will be something to look forward as they performed a new song; "Soldier" featuring Santigold. Timbaland and Lil Wayne are also set to appear on the album.
