Pusha T - My Name Is My Name

Pusha T, Virginia rapper and one half of the famed hip hop duo Clipse, released some pretty potent singles before the drop of his new album here; however, the final product seems to be cut with a handful of weak tracks.

Pusha T - "Nosetalgia" ft. Kendrick Lamar

Pusha T drops another track from his forthcoming album, My Name Is My Name, and with tracks like "Sweet Serenade" and "Numbers On the Boards," this album is shaping up to be the best things G.O.O.D. Music's has dropped since its inception.

As usual, Pusha brings a lot of coke talked that's heavily coded with wordplay and double entendres that make replaying this thing worth it. The sparse guitar-driven beat ain't bad either. Kendrick Lamar's verse follows through with the druggy themes, but delivers the kind of vivid storytelling we've come to expect from albums like Section .80 and GKMC. Enjoy!

Look for My Name Is My Name on Oct. 8th.

Pusha T - "Numbers On The Boards"

When the audio Pusha T's "Numbers On The Boards" dropped, I was pretty flabbergasted by the instrumental. The sharp, choppy percussion fits oddly against sampled shouts and a driving bassline. It's a weird, weird beat, but what's even more surprising is Pusha T doesn't sound at all shaken by the unorthodox instrumental. He sounds smoother than ever on this new track, which he's just dropped some visuals for. Uh, I'm not sure what the budget was on this--it might have been nothing--but that doesn't seem to shake Pusha's confidence either. I think the greatest expense this video had was the flare that was lit five seconds in. Enjoy!
