Curren$y respects Pharrell Williams‘ tenacity. In honor of Black Music Month, the rapper chose to put the spotlight on the N*E*R*D member for his musical versatility and determination to strive in the face of adversity. “He represents all the different eras of music that we’ve been through,” Curren$y tells The BoomBox. “He’s very vocal about the struggle that he went through… just in the industry.” Pharrell, who collaborated with the New Orleans native on “Chasin’ Paper,” a song featured on his new album, The Stoned Immaculate, out today, also has a positive track from his catalog that resonates with Curren$y: “You Can Do It Too.” “It’s the greatest song he ever recorded,” the Jet Life founder admits.
