American rapper and record executive Pusha T has released his new song, “Neck & Wrist”, featuring rapper, songwriter, record executive, entrepreneur, and media proprietor Jay-Z.
Pusha T initially gained major recognition as half of hip hop duo Clipse, alongside his brother and fellow rapper No Malice, with whom he founded Re-Up Records.
In September 2010, Thornton announced his signing to Kanye West’s GOOD Music imprint, under the aegis of Def Jam Recordings. Later that year, he was featured on West’s single “Runaway,” which peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.
On May 25, 2018, Daytona released to critical acclaim. It received an 86 on Metacritic, indicating “universal acclaim”. Subsequently, he was named the “Best Rapper Alive” by Complex for 2018 for his work on Daytona and his diss track “The Story of Adidon”.
The album received praise from hip-hop veterans Nas and P. Diddy, calling it “a classic album” and “a modern day masterpiece”.
In February 2020, Pusha T started a new record label, Heir Wave Media Group, to sign and develop artists from the Virginia area. He remained the president of G.O.O.D. Music while focusing on building a roster of artists from his home state.
In creating the label, Pusha cited his desire to recruit “album artists” who craft narratives and larger stories throughout their projects.
Local artists were encouraged to submit music to the Heir Wave Music YouTube channel and a weekly radio show on a local station, 103 Jamz FM. In the label’s first year, Heir Wave Music signed Kahri 1k, Shaolinn, Leeto, and WhyNotDuce.
