A new “freestyle” video from Universal’s Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping has been released online, giving us a look at Andy Samberg’s Conner4Real in straight up rap mode. In the vein of a concert documentary, the film chronicles Samberg’s Conner4Real as he faces a crisis of popularity on his sophomore solo album, after which he attempts to reunite his Beastie Boys-esque group. As directed by Akiva Schaffer (Hot Rod) and Jorma Taccone (MacGruber), the film looks to be a hilarious take on the culture of pop music today, with The Lonely Island flavor sprinkled throughout.

While the movie itself looks really funny, I’m almost more excited that the release of Popstar also heralds the arrival of a brand new Lonely Island album. This new song, “I’m a Weirdo”, is simultaneously a Conner4Real song from the movie and a brand new piece of music from Samberg, Schaffer, and Taccone, and not so shockingly, it’s terrific. The lyrics are silly, but the song itself is incredibly catchy, and the accompanying video plays directly into the ego and dishonesty of Samberg’s Conner4Real character.

So take a look at the video/song below, and prepare yourself for a bevy of new Lonely Island songs via the Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping soundtrack. The film also stars Taccone, SchafferSarah SilvermanTim MeadowsMaya Rudolph, and Joan Cusack. Produced by Judd ApatowPopstar: Never Stop Never Stopping opens in theaters on June 3rd.
