Pharrell to Produce Jay-Z ?
The Neptunes are set to produce Jay-Z’s new material, according to reports.

In My Mind is set for a July 25 release.Neptunes super producer Pharrell will head to the studio later this year to begin recording a third N.E.R.D. album with partner Chad Hugo and rapper Shay. "We’re going back in," Williams tells Billboard.com. "I would like to have a first single drop in the first or second quarter of next year."

In addition to collaborating with artists such as Ludacris, Beyonce, Snoop Dogg and, as previously reported, Velvet Revolver, Williams says the Neptunes are also producing new music for Jay-Z, who is rumored to be working on a comeback album.

"I don’t like talking about sh*t like that — I like people to hear the record," says Williams, remaining tightlipped about the disc. "Different people inspire different things from me so the songs [I produce] are never going to sound the same. I used to have a formula maybe six or seven years ago but that got boring."
