What a day for hip-hop. We now have not one, but two surprise albums from some of the best in the business. Legendary producer, singer, and rapper Pharrell Williams has just come through with Black Yacht Rock Vol. 1. That is the hyphenated title for this project, or at least one of the three names you can call it. It is also being referred to as Virginia, Black Yacht Rock, or City of Limitless Access.

This is the Virginia native's first solo album since 2014's G I R L and it may be coming before a separate project. He has been dropping some singles such as "Cash In Cash Out," "Down In Atlanta," and "Airplane Tickets." Time will tell when all of those tracks culminate into a full listening experience. For now, let us discuss Black Yacht Rock Vol. 1.

This album sees Pharrell go into the pop genre and maybe even a bit of pop rock as well. The tape is fully produced by him and there are zero features outside of an adlib from Quavo. The 10-track LP is only available on a website that is named after the project. You can check it out here and it is available for free to download at your convenience. There was zero promotion from Pharrell on social media, so this is definitely something for the true fans to discover.
