JAY-Z and Pharrell are set to release a new single called “Entrepreneur” tomorrow (August 21) as part of P’s new TIME cover package, The New American Revolution.
“The intention for a song was all about how tough it is to be an entrepreneur in our country to begin with,” Pharrell told TIME. “Especially as someone of color, there’s a lot of systemic disadvantages and purposeful blockages. How can you get a fire started, or even the hope of an ember to start a fire, when you’re starting at disadvantages with regards to health care, education, and representation?”
In Jay’s verse, he raps, “Black Twitter, what’s that? When Jack gets paid, do you? For every one Gucci, support two FUBU’s.”
