Chad Hugo has released ‘Jumpupw!nya’, a new single featuring Tierra Whack and Leikeli47, alongside a kaleidoscopic video directed by Kid. Studio. The track is his first major solo release for several years and is presented as the start of a new creative phase for the producer known for his work with The Neptunes and N.E.R.D.

The article says Hugo’s new direction is influenced by younger women shaping contemporary music, with the collaboration intended to amplify their creative perspectives and connect generations. Hugo previously helped make The Neptunes one of modern music’s most successful production partnerships, while N.E.R.D blended hip-hop, pop, punk and rock.
