Le mec a vraiment fait du chemin depuis son embrouille avec son label qui ne voulait pas sortir Hell Hath No Fury, juste un des plus gros classiques du hip-hop…
Aujourd’hui Pusha T est une figure respectée du game, même s’il ne convainc pas autant en solo qu’avec les Clipse, il nous a quand même lâché des morceaux classiques comme King Push, Suicide, Trouble On My Mind et bien sûr la boucherie Numbers On The Boards.
Aujourd’hui il reçoit enfin la reconnaissance qu’il mérite puisque Kanye West l’a nommé nouveau président de G.O.O.D. Music, le label qui regroupe Kanye, Pusha T, Big Sean, Q-Tip, Cyphi Tha Prince, Teyana Taylor, Mos Def, John Legend et Travis Scott entre autres.
Les prochains objectifs de Pusha T : la sortie de son album King Push et peut-être la suite de Cruel Summer.
