Although Pusha T just dropped his highly-anticipated DAYTONA follow-up It’s Almost Dry, the Clipse lyricist is already hard at work on his next project. During an interview with GQ, he previewed a previously unreleased track and compared his flow to The Notorious B.I.G.
“This is a new era for me, for sure,” Push said. “Don’t you hear the flows, you hear the tones, you hear the character? Listen, remember what Big sounded like in ’94?…Then he turned to the [smoother] Frank White persona by ’96. By ’97 it was full blown. And by the time the transformation is done [my craft] will be mastered and ready. You’ll have a niche product.”
It’s Almost Dry features appearances from Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Pharrell, JAY-Z, Lil Uzi Vert, Don Toliver and more. It earned Pusha T his first No.1 spot on the Billboard 200, with an estimated 55,000 total album-equivalent units sold in its first week.
“We all can’t be number 1 at the same time, this week it’s mine,” he tweeted after hearing the news. “Thank you to all.”

The G.O.O.D. Music president also dropped a new visual component to his Pharrell-produced track “Call My Bluff” last month, which capitalized on Pusha’s supervillain character, as he at one point enjoys a classy meal in a plastic-covered room while his goons decapitate a hostage next door.

Great. Pusha T will rap for about selling drugs and cocaine that hasn’t said a thousand before. Booring
I happen to find it quiet entertaining tbh. His song structure is flawless and he dont compromise. Hard to hate on that.
Classic album So far Pusha T and Black Star are in heavy rotation.
Dope album for sure. But „classic“? Nah.
Don’t get me wrong this album from Pusha was solid as fuck, but no way in hell can he compare him self the B.I.G that’s criminally insane his word play and vocab is no where near the level of B.I.G and that is not taking nothing away from Pusha but please come on man stay in your lane there is levels to this shit and you are no where near B.I.G level. That being said it was refreshing to get a solid album with no mumble bull shit on it.
He’s not comparing himself to Big exactly, just saying the flow and certain vocal tones.
