As the 90s progressed, The Neptunes slowly established themselves through occasional work for artists such as Total, Mase, Noreaga, and MC Lyte (adding their touches to Lyte's 1998 release Seven and Seven).īy the start of the 2000s The Neptunes had become one of the most widely sought production teams in hip-hop, concocting popular singles for Ol' Dirty Bastard ( Got My Money), Mystikal ( Shake Ya Ass), Jay-Z ( I Wanna Love U), Snoop Dogg ( Beautiful), and No Doubt ( Hella Good). During this period, a collaboration with fellow Virginia Beach rap partnership Timbaland and Magoo was also pursued for a while under the name Surrounded By Idiots. In 1992 Williams was given the opportunity to work on the track Rump Shaker by Wreckx-n-Effect two years later Riley brought both Williams and Hugo on board (who by now had formalized their partnership under the name The Neptunes) to write and produce for the self-titled debut release by Blackstreet. While the duo were still attending high school, their career had already been given its start thanks to work thrown their way by Lil' Man Records founder Teddy Riley, whose Future Recording Studios happened to be situated right next to their school campus. Outside of their formal music studies, the two frequently met in Hugo's parent's garage to pursue their mutual interest in hip-hop, developing a style that would later earn them a position of considerable power in the music industry.

The graphic-driven piece is a bit of a deep cut. But Rocket might just have upstaged both his mom and dad with just-right baggy blue jeans, Balenciaga sneakers, and the crème de la crème: a choice Off-White letterman jacket. Meanwhile, Lasichanh donned a slouchy white suit, printed with a meandering tonal pattern. And of course, he wore his custom gem-ringed Tiffany shades, his go-to accessory of the moment. There were clever utility details at play, too-pull cords on the shoes, a cargo pocket on his sleeve. Pharrell wore a belted trench coat, white slacks, and glossy black brogues with “Special Events” printed in Abloh’s beloved Helvetica on the side.
On an evening with no shortage of next-level style, Pharrell and family came correct with some of the most memorable looks of the night. This time around, attendees included Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, Givenchy designer Matthew Williams, Luka Sabbat-and Pharrell Williams, his wife Helen Lasichanh, and their son Rocket.
