    Rick Ross Reunites With Pharrell on New Single “For The Money”: “This Is a Global Slapper”

    Rozay calls upcoming Paris-shot release a “new level of creativity”

    Rick Ross is officially back with a bang, linking once again with longtime collaborator Pharrell Williams for a high-energy new single titled “For The Money.” Slated to drop on Friday, June 27, the track has already been previewed in a slick Paris-based visual teaser featuring both Ross and Pharrell suited up in luxury fashion.

    In a video posted to social media, Rozay hyped up the collaboration with his trademark bravado:
    “It’s finally official. Ricky Rozay this Friday, my new single, produced by Pharrell, for real… We dropping a straight international global slapper.”

    He continued:
    “This right here is different. This will forever guarantee my name is set in stone. An elegant, classy affair. A fly, international record.”

    The Miami mogul has previously teamed up with Pharrell on standout tracks like “Presidential” (from God Forgives, I Don’t), “MMG The World Is Ours,” and The Neptunes-produced “Get Down.”

    While Ross has been relatively quiet on the music front lately, he’s kept busy with other ventures — including launching his own dental clinic in Atlanta earlier this year alongside celebrity dentist Dr. Mario Montoya. The clinic promises clients a “billion dollar smile,” and joins Rozay’s growing empire of business moves outside rap.

    With “For The Money,” Rick Ross is signaling a return to high-end, international Hip Hop flair — and based on the early buzz, fans can expect nothing short of luxury and lyrical power when the track drops this week.

    New collab “LV Bag” premiers in Paris, creating buzz for upcoming projects

    Pharrell is making waves again, not just in fashion but in music as well. During Louis Vuitton’s Men’s Fall/Winter 2025 show in Paris on Tuesday (January 21), Skateboard P, LV’s creative director for menswear, teamed up with Don Toliver and BTS’ j-hope for a brand-new track titled “LV Bag.” The highly anticipated collaboration was unveiled as Pharrell and Nigo closed the fashion show with the song, generating significant excitement in the fashion and music worlds.

    The show, which also had notable attendees like the Clipse, Travis Scott, Future, Skepta, and Shaboozey, marked another high point for Pharrell, who continues to blend his creative passions. The song’s full details are still under wraps, but it’s creating much buzz.

    Don Toliver, who released his Hardstone Psycho album in June, has been making strides in his career. The album features big names like Future, Travis Scott, and Kodak Black. The biker theme of the album even extended into gaming, with an exclusive Hardstone mode in Fortnite.

    Meanwhile, Pharrell’s recent collaborative efforts continue to make headlines. J. Cole recently shared two unreleased tracks made with Pharrell for his 2011 Cole World: The Sideline Story album. Though neither made the final cut, Cole’s reflection on the sessions gives insight into the creative pressure of working with legends like Pharrell.

    Pharrell’s influence stretches across multiple industries: fashion, gaming, or music. Fans are eagerly waiting to see where these collaborations lead in 2025.

    Lupe Fiasco discusses the fate of Child Rebel Soldier super group with Kanye West & Pharrell

    Lupe shares brief history of CRS

    Lupe Fiasco has recently opened up on Child Rebel Soldier (CRS) – the group he formed along with Kanye West and Pharrell, which is well-known for putting out only a handful of shattering songs in the late 2000s.

    Speaking on Sway in the Morning on October 4, Lupe spoke about their 2007 first single “Us Placers” and how he tried to revive the name of the group last summer. The rapper noted that he was on cordial terms with both Ye and Skateboard P but understood the fans’ frustration on how little material the group produced.

    “There [was] a lot of fan momentum around it as a movement” Lupe explained. “We always talked about [the group, but] it kind of fell to the wayside… And then again, n-ggas get rich and crazy and shit goes left.

    “That whole time, it’s incubating with people like Tyler[, the Creator],” he added.

    “One of the talks was like, ‘Yo, we old n-ggas and rich and doing other shit,’” Lupe went on. “‘Why don’t we just get the dudes who would be us now, and just give them CRS and let them do it? What if CRS was the hip-hop Exile?’”

    Skateboard P has a distinct way of judging his music

    Pharrell has a rather unique way of listening to his own music, this is also true when it comes to his 2003 hit “Beautiful” featuring Snoop Dogg.

    During an interview on CBS Sunday Morning with Kelefa Sanneh regarding his Lego film called “Piece by Piece,” Pharrell revealed that he has “mixed feelings” about the early 2000s, significantly due to the success he gained as a member of the group The Neptunes, and on the Snoop Dogg collab which exploited his use of falsetto.

    “I had a song called ‘Beautiful’ with Snoop, right?” Pharrell asked. “Girls heard me singing that. I heard Mickey Mouse.”

    “I swear to you, when you just get a moment and you just listen, you’ll never be able to unhear it again,” he added. “But that’s what I hear.”

    Pharrell recalls getting fired repeatedly by McDonald’s before fame

    Pharrell had an unsuccessful stint at McDonald’s

    Pharrell is considered one of the most influential figures in music and fashion today, but it was not all roses in the beginning.

    Prior to achieving multi-platinum success and even being named as a creative director for one of the leading fashion brands in the world, the “Happy” artist was flipping burgers and chicken at McDonald’s but not without getting into a fair amount of trouble with his employer.

    “McDonald’s [was] my first and only job,” Skateboard P recalled while speaking to BBC Radio 2. “I got fired three times. I was eating the chicken nuggets! I found the sweet and sour sauce and the chicken nugget an alchemical combination. It got me in trouble.

    “The first two times it was just because I was lazy. The third time was kinda like, ‘Dude, what are you doing? You’re just sitting there eating nuggets.’ I was one of those kids, I just liked flavors. So I would have sweet and sour in one and in the other one I would have ranch, and I would just go back and forth.”

    Noreaga recieved valuable advice from Skateboard P

    N.O.R.E had a recent sit-down with Ludacris where he recalled a piece of advice Pharrel gave him back in the day. The two were discussing the latter’s Neptunes-produced “Southern Hospitality,” when the former remembered Skateboard P tell him to “embrace his character,” which he did not understand at first.

    “One of my biggest gripes with Pharrell was, when I first got in the studio with him, he was like, ‘You have to embrace your character [like] how Busta embraces his character,’” he explained. “And I didn’t understand ’cause I’m like, ‘I’m not a character; I’m just being who I am.’”

    He added, “And Pharrell’s like, ‘It doesn’t matter who you think you are; it’s how the people perceive you.’ I never embraced my character. And from the moment I seen you from, ‘W-w-w-what’s your fantasy?’ I was like, ‘This guy’s embracing his character. He’s doing exactly what Pharrell [told me].’”
