Premiered by BET moments after the curtains closed tonight, 2 Chainz and Pharrell got cleaned up in case the "Feds Watching" in the visuals to the B.O.A.T.S. II lead single. Look for Tity Boi's sophomore solo album to hit stores September 10th.
A Pharrell/Neptunes beat gets an automatic listen from me any time of the day, and when I'm in Turn down FOR WHAT?! mode a 2 Chainz line is like a nice selection from Chicken Soup For The Soul.
Thanks to "Feds Watching," I think I've found middle ground for 2 Chainz on my iTunes. The reggae tinged beat is perfect for the summer and "Feds Watching" is a great street single to test the waters for his forthcoming sophomore album.
As a bonus hit the jump to catch 2 Chainz's full set from Summer Jam XX, which features a surprise performance from last year's Summer Jam nemesis Nicki Minaj.
While knowing that the minions are back for Despicable Me 2 is enough of a reason to let your inner child free this summer, the fact that Pharrell will be contributing his sounds once again to the hit film series has me more excited than I probably should be.
"Happy" one of the three original songs Pharrell is contributing to the soundtrack, is a feel good record that speaks for itself. Hit play below and enjoy!
Despicable Me 2 will hit theaters on July 3rd, while the soundtrack is set to hit stores on June 18th.

Tyler, The Creator plans to release his album Wolf tomorrow, and both the critics and fans are giving the Odd Future general his props on this one. The Sony distributed album is a proper follow up to his previous efforts Bastard and Goblin as we find Tyler in a more elevated creative space in terms of production and lyrical delivery.
While Odd Future videos have always been entertaining, Tyler also stepped up his game in the visual department. Watch below as he brings a Mattel themed nightmare to life in the visuals to the Pharrell featured "IFHY."

Mac Miller and Pharrell follow up "Onaroll" with Glow," the second leak from their forthcoming collaborative album Pink Slime. Definitely liking this one a lot more.
Rap-Up TV caught up with Pharrell and his artist Leah Labelle on the red carpet of the ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Awards and got him to spill the beans about who he's been working with in the studio. Sadly, he's sworn to secrecy about his work with Jay-Z, but hopefully we'll know something soon.
Until this King Mez drops, I'm in a f**k rap mood so check out this new single from British singer Mika.

As he should, Curren$y has been taking over the Internet in promotion of his major label debut album The Stoned Immaculate, which hits stores on Tuesday.

The one thing that's new for Curren$y on his upcoming album The Stoned Immaculate is that he had the opportunity to work with a lot of different producers, the most notable being Pharrell.

Pharrell has been spreading is movement i am OTHER, but no one quite really knew what it was really about. He tries to explain the premise behind it in a recent promo video below, but all I got from it was be different, be you and subscribe to the YouTube channel. Good enough for me.
I became a fan of Star Trak signed artist Maxine Ashley after watching her kill every cover she sang on her YouTube channel. The Bronx bred singer is ready to show off her original material as she drops her new Pharrell produced single "Hot Thing," which features Weezy Flamingo Baby.

Game gave Vibe to greenlight his second release of the day from his upcoming California Republic mixtape. This one features and is produced by Pharrell and it's pretty catchy.
