Pharrell introduced us to R&B songstress Leah LaBelle and pop-rocker Maxine Ashley earlier this year. Now the music mastermind brings us some hip-hop from the West Coast with his i am OTHER signee Buddy.
The 17-year-old Compton rapper flaunts his skills on the breezy Pharrell-produced “Inspired,” which will appear on his upcoming mixtape Idle Time.
He’s already received a co-sign from Justin Timberlake. “This kid is the truth!” tweeted the pop superstar.
Listen and see if you agree.

Will this ever find any kind of pop success? I highly doubt it. I love the strings though. And drums. Big Neptunes/Pharrell fan. but this shit just loops the whole way through. No variation. Sounds just like a well-produced idea. Not a complete song.

Not every track need alot of variation, Sometimes little can be more, Some of the biggest hits, & most classic of songs do not have Complicated beats!..Some songs are determined by how good the melodies & lyrical concept & content are !
