As Pharrell Williams gears up for the return of his Something In The Water Festival later this month, the music mogul took to TikTok to showcase a new track he’s got in the works, and it features appearances from 21 Savage and Tyler, The Creator.
The song is titled “Cash In Cash Out,” and the TikTok shows Pharrell in the studio with 21 as he raps the single’s bare-bones hook.

Tyler, The Creator is set to perform at Something In The Water, which also boasts appearances from Pusha T, Usher, Ashanti, Ja Rule, Thundercat, Tierra Whack, Denzel Curry, EARTHGANG, JID, Lil Baby, Roddy Ricch, and Run The Jewels among others. The festival is produced by Live Nation and Redrock Entertainment and will expand to three stages right in the heart of Washington, D.C.
The festival’s change in location comes after Pharrell pulled the festivities from his hometown of Virginia Beach, Virginia last October over frustrations related to how the local government handled the police killing of his cousin Donovon Lynch. Pharrell announced the festival’s cancellation in a letter to Virginia Beach City Manager Patrick Duhaney.
“I love my city, but for far too long it has been run by — and with toxic energy,” he wrote. “The toxic energy that changed the narrative several times around the homicide of my cousin, [Donovon] Lynch, a citizen of Virginia, is the same toxic energy that changed the narrative around the mass murder and senseless loss of life at Building Number 2. I wish the same energy I’ve felt from Virginia Beach leadership upon losing the festival would have been similarly channeled following the loss of my relative’s life.”
