The Neptunes
The Neptunes are Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, a pair of producers who created the sound for some of
hip-hop's most successful artists (
Nelly's "
Hot in Here,"
Jay-Z's "
Nigga Please") and pop icons (
Britney Spears' "
I'm a Slave For You" and half of
Justin Timberlake's solo debut). The Neptunes' sound is a highly distinctive brand of off-kilter, stripped-down
funk with a heavy electronic element. The Neptunes also have a rock band fronted by Pharrell,
N.E.R.D, whose album
In Search Of hit gold.
Their hits include "Rock Star," "Lap Dance," and "Provider."
Their label is Virgin Records America.
