In a video released by Apple Music, both Puff Daddy and Pharrell Williams are seen in the studio together working on Puff’s upcoming album, No Way Out 2. The nearly four-minute long video features various clips of the two artists crafting music, and also providing commentary.
At one point in the video, Puff is seen giving Pharrell advice after listening to a beat.
“You didn’t have to have a drop. It just felt like it stayed exciting and then it went and kept going,” Puff says in the video.
“So, do you think I should try again and just try to do something that goes up,” Pharrell adds.
No Way Out 2 was confirmed at the top of this month, and will serve as a sequel to Puff Daddy’s debut album, No Way Out.
Bad Boy Entertainment artist Gizzle revealed the news while speaking with Rap Up earlier this month.
“It’s a crazy project,” she said while speaking on No Way Out 2. “I’m very honored to be a part of it. Nobody can make an album like Puff Daddy. I’ll be actually rapping on there, too. So, it’s cool.”

raekwon started a stupid trend. stop naming albums after your best albums 15 years after they dropped. none of these dudes who do that are even close to the same creative spot they were in when they did the original. OB4CL2 was a good album but sounded nothing like the original. MMLP2 had like 7 songs with girls singing the hooks, unlike the original MMLP which was raw spitting all the way through except for “Stan”. I’m not expecting dopeness from Game on “Documentary 2”, not expecting much from Diddy on this project. Az might make a dope “Doe or Die 2” but it won’t sound like the original. it’s getting to be an annoying rap fad to me.
