HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz As Pusha T enjoys the success of his latest album, he took some time to answer the questions of those wondering about the fate of the album he reportedly was working on with Madlib in an interview. The MC sat down for the first episode of the radio show on the Amp platform that shares the name of his latest album, It’s Almost Dry. The discussion was moderated by Idea Generation’s Noah Callahan-Bever, and Pusha’s longtime manager Steven Victor also sat down to chat. In the midst of the wide-ranging talk, Callahan-Bever asked him about the status of the highly-anticipated album that Pusha T was working on with the Stones Throw Records artist and producer. “I was definitely going to work with Madlib,” he said. “I got some beat...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Revolt / Power 105 Last week a Drake guest verse in which he took some not so subliminal shots at his rival, Pusha T leaked onto the internet and while many speculated that Pusha would once again come for the neck of the King of The North, it doesn’t seem like he’ll be taking that route this time around. During an interview with The Breakfast Club this morning, Pusha was asked about where he stands with Drake these days given the fact that Drizzy and Kanye are now on “good” terms and Pusha basically stated that he doesn’t want anything to do with Drake saying “Everything I’m doing right now is really purposeful. Like musically, and everything. I know who I wanna deal with and who I wanna work with – I know what this is, and [Drake] just don’t fall in thos...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Pusha T owns a very distinct corner in the world of Hip-Hop by way of his bone-chilling delivery and coke rap proficiency. With the fiends looking for more of that audio dope, King Push dropped off a new brick of that work with It’s Almost Dry and the early returns on Twitter are positive thus far. The Norfolk, Va. native’s fourth studio album comes nearly four years after Daytona, and continues Pusha T’s dominance on the microphone when it comes to his preferred subject of choice. With production largely from Pharrell Williams and Kanye West, It’s Almost Dry begins with an immediacy that only surges as the album progresses. Features are also well placed with Pharell, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Lil Uzi Vert, and Don Tolliver l...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Steve Russell / Getty Drake can breathe a sigh of relief after a judge ordered a stalker to stay away from him for a couple of years. TMZ Hip Hop reports Drake was granted a three-year restraining order from a deranged fan who has trespassed on his property and even tried to sue the rapper ridiculously claiming he was harassing her. Per TMZ Hip Hop: Related Stories According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ Hip Hop … Drake’s attorneys, Larry Stein and Ashley Yeargan, were in court for Tuesday’s hearing, which ended with the judge approving a 3-year restraining order. The alleged stalker was not in court, but will be served the order. As we reported, Drake’s been dealing with this woman for a while now — she was arrested for tresp...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Pusha T knows exactly what he’s doing. While the buzz surrounding his forthcoming new album, It’s Almost Dry, continues to rise, he’s also “pressing” his big brother Malice about making a new Clipse album. It’s well known that Malice stepped away from the game, choosing instead to focus on his faith and living his life (he was the officiant for his brother’s wedding). However, on NIGO’s latest project, I Know NIGO!, the Clipse reunited for a new song called “Punch Bowl.” Related Stories One listen to the song and it’s evident that Malice hasn’t lost a step lyrically. It also meant that, once again, fans are speculating about and hoping for a proper Clipse reunion. Apparently, so is Push A Ton. [embedded content] “Being in the studio w...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Pusha T is probably one of the most underrated Hip-Hop veterans in the game. Having come into the fold as one-half of The Clipse (his brother, Malice being the other half), Pusha A Ton has been proving to be one of the wittiest and cleverest lyricists for the past two decades. Though his brother has since retired from the gangsta rap genre in order to praise the Lord in his own way, Pusha continues to prove that when it comes to cocaine and drug game metaphors, you’ll be hard pressed to find someone better. Related Stories Recently sitting down with Charlamagne Tha God for a personal one-on-one interview, Pusha T reflects on his life and the changes he’s made to himself over the course of his career. Admitting that fatherho...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty The Internet streets were abuzz with rumors that a certain Brooklyn rapper would connect once again with the crowned king of “Coke Rap” in Pusha T. The track “Neck & Wrist” has materialized and the feature from Jay-Z certainly had the fans and even some record executives discussing the bars. It’s been a few hours so the dust seems to be settling but Pusha T, who has been on a quick mini-run thus far in 2022, delivered quite a treat in securing the Jay-Z feature for “Neck & Wrist,” produced by the deft hands of Pharrell Williams. King Push employs a unique vocal style that emphasized the last line of the bars to great effect, but Hov came through and really crushed the buildings, respectfully. Jay-Z took time out of runni...

In correlation with the release the I Know NIGO album, the Victor Victor label and brand teamed with Shopify to host a pop-up shop in NYC where fans could cop their highly coveted merch.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Michael Kovac / Getty Pusha T made waves when it came out that he and his brother No Malice penned a portion of the McDonald’s “I’m Loving It” jingle, and he’s back in business with a new related venture. King Push’s “Spicy Fish Diss Track” on behalf of fast-food company Arby’s reportedly netted the brand $8.2 million in ad exposure which prompted Pusha T to suggest that it may or may not be true. Via a tweet from journalist Darren Rovell, who quoted a projection from Apex Marketing, the Virginia Beach, Va. rapper hauled in a potential few million for Arby’s. “Value to Arby’s through 7pm ET: $8,203,272 in equivalent advertising exposure, according to @ApexMarketing,” read the tweet. Catching wind of the news, Pusha T shared some cryptic bars that signal i...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Victor Boyko / Getty Pusha T will secure the bag, and “Diet Coke” doesn’t need to be involved. The VA rapper collaborated with Arby’s to drop a spicy diss track aimed at a competitor. Yes, that Arby’s. “Just dropped a diss track with @Arbys. Grab some popcorn and a Spicy Fish Sandwich. #ArbysSpicyFishDissTrack #ArbysPaidMeButIWouldSayThisAnyway,” wrote Push on Instagram, sharing the song. Related Stories Pusha T uses his bars to disparage the McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish because apparently the beef is on. “A little cube of fish from a clown is basic,” spits Push A Ton. We can’t front, the beat is hard. [embedded content] The collab shouldn’t be too surprising because Push is credited with securing the bag for Arby’s “We have the meats” campaign music. It ...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: CBS / CBS You’re a winner if “Coke Raps on Network Television” was on your bingo card. On Thursday night (March 4), Pusha T performed his latest single “Diet Coke” on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Rocking his trademark braids and what looks like one of those Yeezy Gap x Balenciaga bubble jackets, Pusha A Ton spits his bars with blizzard effects that served as homage to the “snow,” of course. Related Stories Also worth mentioning, Push appears on NIGO of BAPE fame’s latest single called “Hear Me Clearly,” and he’s sounding extra focused.
