So I'm not sure if you're aware, but Pharrell has been cooking up something serious for various up and coming projects.

The Neptunes rapper is currently working with artists such as Adele, P Diddy, Frank Ocean, and now the New York Native ASAP Ferg. 

Although the exact name of production is unknown, this must only mean that this mysterious collaboration will be worth while. 

Fergie released his Dope Walk hit featuring Kanye and a few other heavy hitter's earlier this year.

Having this said, it only sets the tone for what we have yet to witness. Check out exactly what we mean on theneptunes.org. 

If Pharrell gets a hold on any of his projects this should be a jiggy summer, as the ASAP Mob member would say.

All of the action took place right on the Honda Stage at the iHeart Radio Theatre. 

 

Accompanied by host Big Boy and featured artist on the thirteenth studio album Pharrell, they discussed the new album and even reflected on their past with one another. 

 

The D-O double G admits to Pharrell bringing out his more melodic side on this album, according to HipHopDX.com.

 

Artists Korupt, Warren G, and Pharrell of course accompanied him at his main event to bring a variety of tributes, premieres and throwbacks revealing a sultry feel to the atmosphere. 

 

His five-piece band aided him as songs off of his new album were played. Peaches and Cream, So High, and So Many Pros amoungst others from back in the day, such as Dr. Dre’s hit Lets Get High were performed. In honor of the late Tupac, a tribute was done by Warren Sapp with his hit 2 of Amerika’s Most Wanted! 

 

Snoop then finished off the event with the infamous "Who Am I" (What’s My Name).
