Pusha T has been named the president of G.O.O.D. Music, the Def Jam imprint founded by Kanye West.
In an interview with Billboard, Pusha said Kanye offered him the position with the intent of bringing a “very manicured” approach to the label. “I always look at it as an opportunity to help the team and I think that artistically, me and Kanye have the same vision,” he said. “I’m not out here shooting in the dark, doing any and every thing.”
Pusha also talked about whether G.O.O.D. Music would put out another compilation similar to 2012’s Cruel Summer. (“I have that on my mood board.”) He said he’s had “different conversations” with the artists, and said it might be easier to get Kanye involved now that his responsibilities have been reduced.
“I think we’ll be getting the best out of him, executive producing projects that come from the label from here on out because he gets to really hone in as a producer,” Pusha said. “I’ll take care of all the logistics, the rallying of the troops, and so on and so forth. He don’t gotta be producer, A&R, rapper and everything.”
Additionally, he said he’ll release songs from his next solo LP—which is called King Push—before the start of 2016. “My album is just a whole other thing in all honesty,” he said. “F’real, what you’re gonna get from this King Push album is something people probably haven’t heard in the past 18 years. I’m just putting it together, aiming for classic material.”
In addition to Pusha T, G.O.O.D.’s current roster includes Q-Tip, Big Sean, Kacy Hill, and Teyana Taylor.
Not everyone can be a winner. Detroit native and hip-hop sensation 42 Dugg is back with a fiery new single, Win Wit Us. The track, a precursor to his highly anticipated album 4eva Us, Neva Them, showcases Dugg’s signature style and lyrical prowess. In the brand new single, produced by FLEXONTHEBEAT, TyMaz, and Marshak, Dugg calls out those who try to ride his wave without putting in the work, cementing his stance in the rap game. The release is accompanied by an official music video directed by Counter Point, where Dugg and his crew dominate the streets and clubs of Detroit, visually reinforcing his message of loyalty and resilience. Dugg raps in the hard-hitting track:
All of sudden they wanna win wit us / But ain’t spin with us.
Dugg previously teased this new era of his music with a trailer featuring Hill Harper, further building anticipation among his fans. “Win Wit Us” follows a series of recent hits including Wock N Red, SpinDatBac, and Go Again. Earlier this year, Dugg made a triumphant return to the stage with a sold-out “Welcome Home” show at Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena, featuring appearances by superstars like Meek Mill, Yo Gotti, Lil Baby, and more. Notably, the event saw Dugg unite Detroit’s rival hip-hop factions, Doughboyz Cashout and Team Eastside, in a historic move to end the city’s East-West beef. Fans can expect even more groundbreaking music from Dugg as he gears up for his upcoming album. Don’t miss out on the latest single available for streaming here and watch the music video below.
