One of my preferred groups, N.E.R.D have won the American version of the Mercury Music Prize, the Shortlist Music Awards for their LP ‘In Search Of’.

Farrell and Chad say it’s one of the most important they’ve ever received “It’s just cool to be amongst all those great groups, everybody from The Hives to The Vines to DJ Shadow.”

“It’s a bunch of people with a similar vision to make music, not caring what boundaries or genre.”

“It’s by cool people for cool people, but for the people ultimately.”
