NERD & Future - 1000

Review by Ali Mostofian

Album Review: NERD & Future – 1000 Alright, let’s talk about 1000, the 2017 collab between NERD and Future. It’s a short but sweet pop rap project that feels like it came straight outta Europe with its slick production and genre-blurring vibe. Released under Columbia Records, this one clocks in at just one track—yep, you heard me right—but trust me, it packs enough punch to stick in your head for days. First off, big ups to Pharrell Williams and Nayvadius Wilburn (aka Future) for crafting something so smooth yet edgy. The track “1000” is basically an anthem of confidence wrapped in futuristic beats and layered vocals. You’ve got Pharrell bringing his signature quirky energy while Future lays down those moody Auto-Tuned bars we all know and love. Together? Magic. One thing I can’t stop thinking about is how tight the production is. Like, seriously—Pharrell on the boards always delivers, but this time he really went hard. The backing vocals from Alex DePersia, Mette Towley, and others add this dreamy texture that makes the whole thing feel cinematic. And shoutout to Leslie Brathwaite and Mike Larson for mixing; they made sure every element pops without overwhelming the vibe. Now, let’s zoom in on the track itself. “1000” hits different because it’s not trying too hard—it’s effortless cool. Future’s verse slaps, no surprises there, but what really gets me is Pharrell’s hook. Dude has a way of making even the simplest lines sound iconic. Plus, the beat? Chef’s kiss. It’s minimalistic but still bouncy as hell, perfect for cruising around town or zoning out after a long day. Another detail worth mentioning is Chris Athens’ mastering job—he cleaned this thing up real nice. Every drum hit and synth line feels crisp, like someone polished each sound individually. Honestly, if you’re into music production, this track alone could inspire a whole new playlist idea. So yeah, 1000 might only have one song, but man, does it leave an impression. It’s the kind of album that reminds you why hip-hop and pop rap are such a lethal combo when done right. Final thought? This project feels less like a traditional album and more like a vibe capsule. If albums were snacks, this would be a single bite of some ridiculously fancy chocolate—small but unforgettable. Now excuse me while I go listen to “1000” again… maybe 1000 times.
