N*E*R*D - 'Rock Star' (Virgin)
4/5

Jason Nevins: last spotted '98 enlivening the pulse of an early-80s hit for Run DMC...
Well, he's back - once again grooving up rather finely a track whose original was, once again, just as good as the remake. With influential and underground - in at least mainstream circles to date - act, N*E*R*D, it looks like he's chosen yet another soon-to-be-classic combo. 'Rock Star', already blasting its way to the top of radio-playlists both sides of the Atlantic, is the innovative hip-hop crew's latest single-effort, destined to enter the dizzying heights of chart-regions via its infectious, dirty hooks, live drums and attitude-stricken energy.
Sure to be one of the beats-anthems of the year, snatch your copy now and get down with the big boys.
