Rick Ross took a trip down memory lane in the visuals for his latest single, “Nobody”. The MMG rapper relives his near death experience, as he takes his audience inside the 2013 car shooting. With co-producer Diddy providing a thorough semi-motivational rant throughout the video and French Montana lending his vocals for the hook –” You’re nobody, till somebody, kills you”– each artist finds a way to pay homage on this Biggie infused track.
You can find this single and more on his forthcoming album, Mastermind, in stores next week (March 3).
Creative genius, singer, super producer and large hat connoisseur has announced the title of his forthcoming solo studio album, G I R L, set to hit stores March 3. The album will act as a follow up to Pharrell’s 2006 solo debut, In My Mind. The gap between the solo projects might seem extreme but Pharrell has been everything but dormant. He lent his musical touch to such artists like Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar, Robin Thicke, Maroon 5, Beyonce, 2 Chainz, Miley Cyrus and countless others in the meantime. If you couldn’t already tell from his feel good hit single “Happy”, this album will contain no rapping but the fashion forward trendsetter guarantees the album will be worth the wait! The upbeat track has gained immense positive feedback across the globe since its premiere on the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack., including topping the music charts in 15 countries, celebrity renditions of the video and an Academy Award nomination. Watch him hit the Oscar stage on March 2 to perform “Happy”.

In related news, after unofficial artwork for the single arose with Malcolm X on the cover, controversy struck. The picture has since been taken down, but Nicki Minaj had this to say about the issue:
What seems to be the issue now? Do you have a problem with me referring to the people Malcolm X was ready to pull his gun out on as Lookin Ass Niggaz? Well, I apologize. That was never the official artwork nor is this an official single. This is a conversation. Not a single. I am in the video shooting at Lookin Ass Niggaz and there happened to be an iconic photo of Malcolm X ready to do the same thing for what he believed in!!!! It is in no way to undermine his efforts and legacy. I apologize to the Malcolm X estate if the meaning of the photo was misconstrued. The word “nigga” causes so much debate in our community while the “nigga” behavior gets praised and worship. Let’s not. Apologies again to his family. I have nothing but respect an adoration for u. The photo was removed hours ago. Thank you.”
