Ferg Reintroduces Himself to the World as ‘DAROLD’ on New Album

In the latest episode of Boardroom Talks, the New York rapper sits down to discuss his latest album, working with Pharrell Williams & A$AP Rocky, and more.

Ferg has been putting in work as a rap mainstay since he claimed Rookie of the Year at the BET Hip Hop Awards in 2013. Now, with his sixth studio album, Ferg is back and showing all of his sides in his newest release.

Over the last decade-plus, the rapper has worked for everything he’s earned. From numerous platinum hits over the years to a robust fashion footprint rooted in his family’s history in Harlem, he has amassed a diverse portfolio, which all comes together in his newest drop, Darold, featuring artists such as Future, Mike WiLL Made-It, Denzel Curry, Coco Jones, and Mary J. Blige. The “Shabba” artist also teamed up with Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown to drop a late summer single called “Just Do It,” two months after Brown helped his team win the 2024 NBA title.
