Aug 5 will see the release of a long awaited Neptunes compilation album. Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo -who have been responsible for cuts from Britney Spears, Snoop, NSYNC and Justin Timberlake - don't release original material under the Neptunes moniker (using their NERD alias instead) so this will be the first CD actually bearing the Neptunes name.
Because this isn't actually a Nerd release it will be released on BMG/Arista who are affiliated to the Neptunes production outfit. (NERD releases come out on EMI/Virgin of course).
'The Neptunes Presents … Clones' will feature their next single with Busta Rhymes, 'Light Your Ass On Fire'.
The tracklist is as follows:
Intro featuring Pharrell
Clipse featuring Ab Liva & Rosco P. Cold Chain - 'Hot Damn'
