Pusha T and Pharrell have again joined forces for a new song called “Mike Tyson Blow to the Face.”
The track, which is featured in Skateboard P’s new short film All Day I Dream About Sport, finds Pusha throwing lyrical jabs and haymakers over bruising production from the Neptunes hitmaker.

All Day I Dream About Sport is a 20-minute film that Pharrell co-directed with Gabriel Moses about West African culture, which will be accompanied by a hardcover book set for release this spring.
“A loose visual narrative that combines anthropological insights with an emotional exploration of life, the film showcases a freeform approach to filmmaking that expands upon Moses’ music videos for artists like Skepta and Travis Scott,” its description reads.

It adds: “Working with the award-winning production company DIVISION and the support of Adidas (the film’s title references a long-rumored acronym for the brand), Moses and Pharrell set out to make a film that captured the essence of Dakar [the capital city of Senegal] and ‘the sport of everyday life.'”
“Mike Tyson Blow to the Face,” which plays during the film’s cowboy-themed centerpiece, is one of three original songs produced by Pharrell featured on its soundtrack.
The soundtrack has yet to be released on streaming, but a lengthy snippet of “Mike Tyson Blow to the Face” can be heard below.
Pusha T and Pharrell are set to release more music this year, with the legendary producer behind the boards for the Clipse‘s upcoming album Let God Sort ‘Em Out — the duo’s first in over 15 years.
Speaking to Vulture last year, Pusha said of the highly anticipated project: “I think the album shows the supreme maturation of a rap duo. I think this is where you get the difference between taste and filler. This music is curated. This is a high taste-level piece of work.”

His brother and partner-in-rhyme Malice added: “This is smart basketball. It’s fundamentals. And not only that, it’s authenticity. It’s what rap should look like if you’re real about your craft, real about your experience, real about your storytelling […] This is what the true evolution of the Clipse looks like.”
King Push also praised longtime collaborator Pharrell’s work on the album, saying: “Pharrell producing everything is an ode to the type of music and the type of albums we want to make. We still want to make full bodies of work. These are movies, man.”
While a release date for Let God Sort ‘Em Out has yet to be announced, Pusha T recently confirmed that the album is finished.
In an interview with journalist and broadcaster Ari Melber last December, he said: “We always take long, people be mad. [But] it’s okay ’cause it’s done. I’m telling y’all, it’s done. I promise you. It’s in my phone.”

The project will mark the Clipse’s first release on Def Jam after the duo signed a deal with the storied rap label last year.
