Rick Ross has reunited with frequent collaborator Pharrell Williams on the aggressive sounding “For The Money”.
A snippet of the track and video was teased by Rozay with the clip taking place around Paris and featured both the biggest boss and Pharrell in finely tailored suits.
In a video hyping the track ahead of its release on Friday (June 27), Ross said: “It’s finally official. Ricky Rozay this Friday, my new single, produced by Pharrell, for real. We shot the video in Paris, the video world premiere is heavyweight. Pharrell, you always come through for your brother. Much love. This Friday, we dropping a straight international global slapper.”
He added: “It’s such an elegant, classy affair. A fly, international record. Y’all know how Ricky Rozay get down. It’s time for this.
“This Friday, we breaking records. This a new level of creativity. An international smash record produced by Pharrell. Ricky Rozay sliding on that motherfucker you know the way I do. This right here is different. This will forever guarantee my name is set in stone.”
Ross and Pharrell previously hooked up on God Forgives, I Don’t stand out “Presidential” as well as The Neptunes’ “Get Down” and Rich Forever deep cut “MMG the World is Ours”.
The usually prolific rapper has been a little bit quiet on the music front of late, as he appeared to be focusing his attention on various beefs and business ventures.
Rozay recently opened up his own dental practice in Atlanta with the dentist who created the rapper’s veneers.
With photos from the grand opening, Rozay announced the new business venture in an Instagram post back in March.
“We did it @drmariomontoya ! We began discussing this plan 3 years ago in Cali,Columbia and now we’ve opened our 1st dentist office in the U.S.!!” he wrote. “Everyone reading this, COME GET YOUR ‘BILLION DOLLAR SMILE’ in Sandy Springs ATLANTA now. Grateful for the opportunity to play a part in this ICONIC MOVE! Invest in your smile this year.”
Dr. Mario Montoya is known for his work on various Hip Hop artists such as French Montana, T-Pain, Rich the Kid and 6ix9ine.

Panic! At The Disco are preparing to release a special deluxe anniversary edition of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out.
The I Write Sins Not Tragedies icons marked the 20th anniversary of their groundbreaking 2005 debut album during their performance at When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas over the weekend, and have now confirmed the new edition.
On January 23, the group — originally formed by Brendon Urie, Spencer Smith, Ryan Ross and Brent Wilson — will unveil a limited edition box set that features a remastered version of the record.
The package, priced at £164.99 and available for pre-order, includes 11 unreleased demos and a vinyl pressing of 2006’s Live In Denver. The full live set has also been uploaded to YouTube.
On the band’s UK store, they shared a message:
“To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Panic! At The Disco’s seminal debut album, this limited edition box set brings together a comprehensive time capsule celebrating the record's impact.
This release includes the original album remastered for the first time ever, 11 unreleased demos, plus the legendary 2006 Live In Denver performance — never before released on vinyl or CD.
The box set also includes a 12-page zine with never before seen photos from the era, a sticker set, a door hanger, and a paper doll set.”
By 2023, the band had essentially become a solo project for Urie. Their final show was held in Manchester, UK, where the frontman said: “Sometimes a journey must end for a new one to begin.
“We’ve been trying to keep it to ourselves, though some of you may have heard… Sarah and I are expecting a baby very soon!
The prospect of being a father and getting to watch my wife become a mother is both humbling and exciting. I look forward to this next adventure.”
Panic! returned to the stage at WWWY over the weekend, performing A Fever You Can't Sweat Out in full alongside fan favorites like This Is Gospel and Nine in the Afternoon.
To end the night, they performed I Write Sins Not Tragedies once again, as Smith reunited with Urie for the emotional closing moment.
