Diddy has premiered an unreleased collaborative track featuring The Weeknd in the newest Beats By Dre ad. The ad follows college footballer Kayvon Thibodeaux, a defensive end for the University of Oregon in a day in the life of training. The 60-second ad is narrated by his mother Shawnta Loice over an untitled and unreleased track by Diddy. The song comes after the rapper announced last July that he was returning to music with a new album titled Off the Grid Vol. 1. Off the Grid Vol. 1 was initially expected to drop in September 2021 but has yet to be released. The album would have marked Diddy’s fifth studio album, but it is currently unknown if it will arrive this year or in the near future. The Weeknd on the other hand has been busy this past year with a series of collaborations includi...

Pusha T expressed his appreciation and admiration for JAY-Z, going as far as calling his “Neck & Wrist” collaborator the GOAT. In a recent SiriusXM interview, King Push referred to Hov as “the best rapper, like, just period.” He also went into detail about their collaborative process, stating that they have a very sharp creative relationship, “When I reach out to him about a record, I feel like he sort of knows that, you know, I’m not reaching out to him about no bullshit. It’s like, nah, I must really think that this is a joint, or something that’s gonna add to the great legacy that he has.” “So I basically just write the verse, lay the hook down, I do everything and just send it to him with a space open. I send it and I just hope he’ll hit back,” Pusha said of their process. “And thi...

Pusha T has dropped off an accompanying music video for his It‘s Almost Dry cut, “Call My Bluff.” Directed by frequent collaborator Omar Jones and Onda, the ominous “Call My Bluff” visual shows King Push’s subtlety when it comes to threatening and handling those who undermine him. It begins with two men chasing down a gagged man who is crawling on the dirt and contrasted by clips of the rapper attending an extravagant dinner party while the hit is ongoing. Later, Pusha is also seen enjoying a steak in a plastic-covered crime scene and riding along with two of his men who seemingly dump bodies in the water. With an eerie smile on his face, he raps over the Pharrell-produced beat, “I can send some n****s ’round there right now/1-800 call my bluff.” Watch Pusha T’s “Call My Bluff” music video...
