Pharrell Williams & JAY-Z – Entrepreneur
Pharrell Williams and Jay-Z will releases a brand new song titled “Entrepreneur,” in conjunction with Williams’ new TIME cover package, “The New American Revolution.”
On the new single, Jay Z, in his verse, stresses the importance of supporting Black businesses and starting one’s own ventures. “Black Twitter, what’s that? When Jack gets paid, do you?,” he raps, referencing Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, before adding, “For every one Gucci, support two FUBU’s.”
While the song confronts systemic injustice, it takes a triumphant tone, with Williams’ breezy falsetto floating over a warm beat produced by Williams and his production partner Chad Hugo, who make up the Neptunes. “The song is trying to communicate that when we stick together, treat each other better and welcome each other, there’s more money and more opportunity for everyone,” Williams says.
