Pusha T Responds To Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense Quoting His Rhyme
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz On Wednesday (Sept. 7), social media was buzzing when the official Ukraine Ministry of Defense Twitter account quoted a Pusha T rhyme to announce the kind of damage they’ve inflicted on invading Russian forces, and now King Push has responded to the famous tweet. Hours after the Defense of Ukraine Twitter account wrote “I put numbers on the boards” and broke down exactly how many Russian tanks, jets, and helicopters they took down, Pusha T retweeted their post and simply stated “Great taste in music for the win…” Y’all know Drake somewhere a tad bit jealous that Ukraine didn’t quote any of his many hits. Related Stories It was a bit surprising to learn that Ukraine was familiar with Pusha T much less a lyric from his 2013 c...

Pusha T Shines Brightly In Vevo’s ‘CTRL’ Series Performance [Video]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Tim Mosenfelder / Getty Pusha T doesn’t have anything left to prove in Hip-Hop as he is consistently considered one of the most precise rappers to emerge in the game. That same laserlike focus was present in King Push’s recent performance for Vevo’s CTRL series, shining brightly as he performed two tracks from his latest studio album, It’s Almost Dry. Pusha T and his airtight delivery remain the hallmark of his still ongoing career, along with his descriptive ways of breaking down the ins and outs of the drug trade. While Pusha’s subject matter might be rote to some, his abilities are such that it still sounds fresh even some two decades later. For the CTRL performance, Push rocks the Kanye West-produced “Dreamin Of The Past” and the Pharrell Willams-prod...
Calvin Harris Reveals Star-Studded Tracklist for “Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2”
Over five years after its predecessor, the release of Calvin Harris‘ Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2 album is just about a week away. The last few months have been tantamount to torture for fans of the chart-topping “Summer” producer, who had been cryptically teasing the follow-up to 2017’s influential Vol. 1, saying back in March that it’s the “maddest album” he’s ever produced. And if its tracklist is any indication, he wasn’t kidding around. If the crossover potential of Funk Wave Bounces Vol. 1 was hot, that of its successor is downright volcanic. The tracklist, which Harris revealed today, is brimming with monster collaborations. Highlights include “New To You” (with Normani, Tinashe and Migos’ Offset) and R...
Calvin Harris Reveals Monster List of Collaborators for “Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2”
Is it really summer without new music from Calvin Harris? The last few weeks have been tantamount to torture for fans of the chart-topping “Summer” producer, who has been cryptically teasing the follow-up to his influential Funk Wav Bounces album, which came out almost five years ago. Feel old yet? Harris has now announced that the hotly anticipated record, which he has called the “maddest album” he’s ever produced, is slated to drop in early August. He also finally revealed the staggering list of collaborators who contributed to Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2. If the crossover potential of Vol. 1 was hot, that of its successor is downright volcanic. The album’s monster list of collaborators is akin to a Grammy Award repository, boasting voc...
Tom Brady Calls Pusha T’s ‘It’s Almost Dry’ Album of The Year
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Pusha T’s latest album has gotten a championship co-sign from none other than NFL superstar Tom Brady in a recent social media post. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback expressed his love for It’s Almost Dry in a post through his social media accounts on Tuesday (June 21st). The post shows Brady going for a run through the streets of New York City, with the Ye-produced “Dreamin of The Past” serving as the backdrop. The video is an ad for BRADY Run Apparel, the player’s new athletic clothing line. That line is set to make its debut Thursday, complete with its own color, “Brady Blue.” “You guys know I have 1,124 career rushing yards, right? No accident. RUN is available Thursday,” the tweet read. Pusha got wind of the tweet ...
Watch Pusha T Perform “Let The Smokers Shine The Coupes” On ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Randy Holmes / Getty It’s been a few weeks since Pusha T dropped his street banger, It’s Almost Dry. Continuing to promote the Billboard chart- topping album, King Push took to Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform one of his standout cuts. Bringing back the baggy clothes look that he debuted in the game with more than a decade ago, Pusha T performed “Let The Smokers Shine The Coupes” much to the delight of the studio audience in L.A. as the lights flashed and grooved to the Pharrell produced beat. Pretty effective light effects if you ask us. Hopefully he and Malice will finally reunite to give us that long-awaited Clipse reunion album. Fingers crossed!

The 30 Best Albums of 2022 (So Far)
The following acts released quality albums in May 2022 alone: Radiohead off-shoot The Smile, Kendrick Lamar, Wilco, Arcade Fire, Sharon Van Etten, The Black Keys, Florence + the Machine, Harry Styles — we’ll stop there for space reasons. It’s been such a wild music year so far, only some of them made the following list. Maybe 2022 was just front-loaded and the final six months will be less eventful. (Judging by the release calendar, that’s probably a bad prediction.) Either way, we had trouble even narrowing this down to 30. Let’s meet back here at year’s end and see how things shake out. 30. Caracara – New Preoccupations Fans of classic 2000s emo — Say Anything, Dashboard Confessional, or Circa Survive, for example — are sure to find something to love in Caracara’s New Preoccupations (and...
The 30 Best Songs of 2022 (So Far)
It’s almost absurd how much good music — universally acclaimed, big-ticket, year-end contender music — came out in 2022’s first five months. It’s hard to imagine the next seven matching that pace. We’ve heard soul-bearing rap songs (Kendrick Lamar), future windows-down rock classics (Momma), loads of elite-level Thom Yorke (The Smile) — the list, literally, goes on. Below, we gathered our 30 favorite tracks of 2022 so far. (In this case, we decided songs from any 2022 albums were on the table.) Let’s meet back here at year’s end and see how things shake out. 30. All Get Out – “Feeling Well” The first single from All Get Out’s new album, Kodak, smartly swirls folk-rock, emo, and a dash of country into a potent cocktail of paranoia, self-doubt, and hesitant nostalgia. This South Carolin...
Pusha T’s Patience Pays Off on It’s Almost Dry
A little over two decades into his career and approaching his 45th birthday, Pusha T is a veteran working in an industry constantly searching for new talent, and a genre redefining itself as quickly as it grows in popularity. Despite that, Pusha’s success comes from a discography decidedly contained by the single subgenre of “coke rap,” and featuring a small, consistent set of collaborators. On It’s Almost Dry, his fourth studio album, the Virginia rapper preaches the values, triumphs and losses of patiently walking this narrow path that has made his name synonymous with sinister raps about selling cocaine, and listed it among some of the most iconic artists of the past 10 years. For the first decade of his career, Pusha was half of hip-hop duo Clipse, alongside his brother Malice. The two...
Pusha T Celebrates ‘Billboard’ Top Slot, New Tour On Deck
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Pusha T is again at the head of the pack as his latest album debuts at the top of the Billboard charts, and he’s riding that wave by announcing a new tour. The “Nosetalgia” rapper has been at the forefront of buzz in the rap game since the release of his latest album, It’s Almost Dry last week. The album, produced entirely by both Pharrell Williams and Ye aka Kanye West, debuted on the Billboard 200 Chart at number one on Sunday (May 1st). Gaining that top spot on the chart is a first for the multi-platinum rapper, and he expressed his happiness and gratitude via Twitter soon after: “We all can’t be number 1 at the same time, this week it’s mine…Thank you to all.” Related Stories It’s Almost Dry also took the top spots on B...
Pusha T Declares Jay-Z The Best Rapper
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Pusha T is still basking in the glow of the release of his latest full-length release, It’s Almost Dry, and the media rounds are being made by the talented lyricist. King Push recently shared during an interview that Brooklyn bomber Jay-Z is the best rapper in his estimation. Sitting down with SiriusXM radio host Swaggy Sie, the Virginia rapper gave a strong opinion regarding the legacy of Hov in his view, this after Pusha T just worked with Jay-Z on the “Neck & Wrist” track. “Hov to me, he’s like the best rapper, like just period,” Pusha T said during the chat. “When I reach out to him about a record, I feel like he sort of knows that I’m not reaching out to him about no bullshit. I must really think that this is a joint or somet...
