“My Drive Thru” is a collaborative single by The Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas, American singer-songwriter Santogold, and The Neptunes producer and N.E.R.D. member Pharrell Williams. The song was created for Converse’s centennial and was released in June 2008. The Times made “My Drive Thru” their track of the day, calling it “a three-headed Frankenstein monster of coolness” that was “a lovely attempt to allow guitar music, beats and R’n'B to come together in one happy bundle.”

Santogold was lead singer of the Philadelphia-based punk rock/ska band Stiffed, whose 2003 album, Sex Sells, and 2005 album, Burned Again, were produced by Bad Brains bassist Darryl Jenifer. While in this group, she was offered a solo contract by Martin Heath of Lizard King Records. Her initial singles “Creator” and “L.E.S. Artistes” received attention from Internet media in 2007. White also appeared on Mark Ronson’s 2007 album Version, performing on a cover of The Jam’s “Pretty Green”.
