Pusha T and his brother No Malice rose to prominence as Clipse with the single “Grindin’,” which sported a minimal Neptunes beat of simple snaps and bangs, allowing its re-creation on lunchroom tables across America. Now, more than a decade later, Pusha T is on Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Music label. Thanks to features on highlighted posse tracks such as “Mercy” and “Tick Tock” and his besting of Lil’ Wayne in a quick musical feud on “Exodus 23:1,” Pusha’s star is on the rise, though he has yet to release his G.O.O.D. solo debut.
