Murda Beatz, Anitta, J Balvin, Quavo, And Pharrell Party In Miami In Their New Single, ‘No Mas’

by

Super producer Murda Beatz is keeping the heat on this summer. On his latest single, “No Mas,” Murda delivers a sexy, summery, string-infused beat, and is joined by Quavo, J Balvin, and Anitta as they each deliver fiery verses.

Quavo’s verse is the only one completely in English, as the Migo proclaims, “Migo don’t know Spanish, but my ‘migos got them tings.” Perhaps this shall put those rumors of a split to rest. Balvin delivers the following verse, ready to stake claim to Miami as a party lord. Delivering a powerful bridge is Brazilian superstar Anitta, embracing the fact that she is not only a pop icon in her home country but internationally.

The song’s music video, directed by Jackson Tisi, shows Murda, Quavo, Balvin, and Anitta partying it up in Miami.

It is worth noting that Pharrell doesn’t have any singing or rapping parts on the song, but co-produced it with Murda. He also does not appear in the video. However, those with a good ear can faintly hear one of his signature four-count starts beneath Murda’s famous “Murda on the beat, so it’s not nice” tag.

“It’s a record I’m excited about,” said Murda in a statement, “bringing four different worlds together; America, Colombia, Brazil, and Canada. And, of course, having the chance to work alongside a legendary producer like Pharrell is incredible. It’s just the perfect record for the summer”

Check out “No Mas” above.

Anitta is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Pharrell Williams Is Also Annoyed By His Song ‘Happy’

For those who aren’t fond of Pharrell Williams‘ hit single “Happy,” you may have something in common with the artist himself. Williams admits the song annoys him too.

The song was originally released in 2013 as part of the soundtrack for Despicable Me 2. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart the following year on Williams’ second studio album, Girl. But almost a decade after the song’s release, several Twitter users have said that they don’t care for the song.

“No song annoyed me like Happy by Pharrell did,” said Twitter user @javroar. Williams quote-replied to the tweet saying, “Same.”

“Happy” was one of the biggest hits of 2014, largely in part to the song’s 24-hour music video. When speaking of the video’s creation in a 2013 interview with NPR, Williams said, “We kind of gotta do it ’cause the premise was perfect with the song, ‘Happy,’ and if we can help people rediscover happiness within themselves — and notice, we’re not trying to make anyone happy, we’re just trying to, like I said, help people rediscover it within themselves.”

Despite Williams’ intent to help the listener rediscover happiness, it is clear by the general consensus that the song largely had the opposite effect.
