Pusha T has delivered the first single from his DAYTONA follow-up. Titled “Diet Coke,” the track arrived at midnight EST on Tuesday (February 8), bringing the long wait for new King Push music to an end.
Aside from 2019’s “Sociopath” featuring Kash Doll, “Coming Home” with Lauryn Hill and the 2020 Black Thought single “Good Morning,” Pusha T has been relatively quiet over the last four years — but that has changed.
The former Clipse rapper announced the single’s impending arrival via Twitter on Monday (February 7) using the single art for the track. “Diet Coke” arrives just hours after manager Steven Victor teased a black-and-white video clip of “Diet Coke” featuring Kanye West on Instagram. According to FakeShoreDrive, the track is produced by Kanye West and 88-Keys.
Pusha T’s upcoming album — rumored to be titled It’s Not Dry Yet — is reportedly produced entirely by Kanye West and The Neptunes. And King Push is confident it will blow away the competition.
“The album of the muthafuckin’ year is coming,” King P told Complex last month. “A Pusha album takes a long time … but when it comes together, ain’t nothing fucking with it. I’m on some one thousand percent rap superhero shit. You know me, I have to reinvent myself. I just have to reinvent my greatness.”
The forthcoming project serves as the follow-up to 2018’s DAYTONA but a release date has yet to be announced. Until then, listen to “Diet Coke” below.
Our DX Daily Podcast hosts discuss Pusha T’s upcoming album, the rollout so far and the possibility of Pusha leaving “drug rap” behind. Listen here:
This is pure fire. If this is an indication to what the album will sound like we have a winner right here. Yeuuck!
There will be comments on here complaining about him still doing ‘coke rap’, that’s like complaining about Nike still making trainers – this song is FIRE
Only if Nike was making trainers for 20+ years that no one used for athletics whatsoever. Then your comparison would be valid.
Pardon?
I can’t remember the last time I was this excited for a hip-hop album release. Everything sounds the same these days but with Push, you know you’re getting something unique sonically.
Hard pass, not enough gay raps for my taste. I don’t wanna hear about coke, rap about all those hot sexy men y’all with at Ye’s studio bro.
fuckin sausage fest
This track is hard af
I love pushing coke. Especially if it’s primarily for blacks. Mo money, mo guns, MO drugs, MO bitche$
This is what selling out looks like. Act like Coca-Cola wasn’t in on this ?
Clipse literally made a song called Pop Eyes to cut that check. Lmaaao. This move aint nothing new, though I highly doubt coca cola would sign a check with all this drug bars all over the song. Personally, I think its just a throwback to Clipse line “The news call it crack, I call it diet coke” – Hello New World. Either way. This song slaps.
Guns, drugs, hookers, basketball… black excellence baby. Now this is black power ya heard me?!
Its called entertainment you troll.
No one cares what you demonic inbred incels think about the culture. Go preach that low iq bulls.hit at your nearest trailer park.
I’m pleasantly shocked. The production doesn’t sound like new Kanye. After that last Pusha album I wrote him off. Looking forward to the album now.
Old Kanye be hittin harder than a mf?
Sorry typo here. Question mark should be an exclamation point.
