Hip hop artist, Virginia Beach native and one half of the hip hop group The Clipse released this album, his second, on December 18, 2015 as a lead up to his third album allegedly titled King Push.
This album comes off the heels of his 2013 debut album My Name Is My Name which was a great hip hop album, and one that impressed me to no end. Pusha T was always an MC that had flashes of great potential in his work with The Clipse and subsequent mixtapes and EPs but was never able to tie all together throughout an entire album. It was only a matter of time before that potential revealed itself in My Name Is My Name and I'm happy it did.
This album, much like his previous one, has a dark tone to it. Pusha's voice and rhymes always sounds great over a dark and gritty beat. He still carries on the drug theme that's been his calling card since the beginning but he takes a turn on the final track "Sunshine" and covers current social events, making the song the highlight of the album, although not the only highlight. The whole album comes at you hard and Pusha does not let up one bit.
Pusha T is a shining example of Hampton Roads' influence and place within hip hop and his prolonged career stands as a testament to the talent and creativity that is still present in the 757 area. He has separated himself as an artist and continues to make waves within the industry today.
