Kendrick Lamar premiered his new cut “Staircases” produced by The Neptunes during a performance at this year’s SXSW.

During the set, K. Dot enlisted Pharrell Williams’ artist Buddy to assist on the hook. Though the clip doesn’t last long, viewers can get a taste of the smoothed out cut, which features glistening keys and a chanted chorus.
