Pusha-T’s New Album Title Possibly Gets Leaked
]
It looks like the title of Pusha-T’s highly-anticipated new studio album has been accidentally revealed through a promotional banner on YouTube Music.
The Virginia-based rapper has been teasing his upcoming full-length body of work for some time, telling fans that it will be worth the wait and even saying it’s better than his Grammy-nominated album, Daytona. Hip-hop fans have been waiting patiently for Pusha-T to return with his album and it looks like it’s coming soon.

According to multiple sources, Push’s upcoming new album could be called It’s Not Dry Yet. This information comes from a screenshot on YouTube Music, which encourages fans to listen to the new album, despite it not having been released. This must have been a mistake from YouTube Music’s editorial team.
The album title has not been confirmed by Pusha-T.
As of the time of this publication, the album does not have a release date. However, with the way that Push has been teasing it, it is likely arriving sooner rather than later. If you can’t wait for new music from him, check out his feature on Babyface Ray’s new single, out today.
What do you think of the possible title of Pusha-T’s new album? Does it sound like a classic?
Julia Fox Says “All My Sh*t Was in Boxes, Gone” After Meeting Kanye: “I’m Really Surrendering”
If you thought the Kanye West and Julia Fox photoshoots were over, think again. And if you thought the actress wasn’t a reliable source for Pusha-T news, you’re wrong on that, too.
The latest power couple at the intersection of fashion, hip-hop, and Hollywood have made yet another appearance in an Interview Magazine photo collection and check-in. This time, however, they’re posing with some famous friends in Madonna, Floyd Mayweather, and Antionio Brown, as Fox opened up about another date with Ye before spilling the beans about a potential music video project he filmed with King Push.
“I had a date with Madonna, but obviously I invited Ye because they know each other, they work together, and they respect each other as artists,” Fox said about how the combo of stars came together. “Then Floyd Mayweather, Antonio Brown, and a bunch of other people showed up. So obviously we had to do a photo shoot.”
In the photos shot by Kevin Leyva, Fox is rocking a custom fit from her stylists Peri Rosenzweig and Briana Andalore, and she opened up about how her relationship with Ye was evolving in recent weeks.
“You know, I’m so used to being fucked over in relationships, so I keep waiting for him to disappoint me, because he makes very grandiose promises, and it’s like, “How could he ever pull it off with all the other things he has going on,’” Fox said. “But he always does. Last night was a testament to that.”
She continued, explaining that she doesn’t read the comments about her online, and discussed the current “vibes” in her life, which she said are “about tolerance, kindness, and love.”
“I’m canceling cancel culture and putting an end to this black-and-white thinking. People shouldn’t be defined by their darkest moment. As humans, we commit violence to each other, we police each other. We’ve created such a hostile environment, especially on the internet. That’s why I don’t read the headlines.”
As Fox explains, her and Ye had gone on a date at Delilah in Los Angeles, before Ye put on the film Zola and those in attendance—which had including Dave Chappelle, Marilyn Manson, and Naomi Campbell—sat down to watch. After watching the film, she revealed that Ye filmed a video alongside Push. “There was a music video shoot, a Pusha-T video shoot,” Fox said. “Ye did his thing because he’s in the song with Pusha. Then we went back to the hotel and the paparazzi have been following me ever since.”
A few days after meeting Ye, Fox recalls having a “cathartic” experience in packing up all of her clothes and starting fresh, which she added felt like “packing up my old life.”
“Even a month ago, I was so fucking like…not getting along with my son’s father, or not having help. It was just me alone. I was so tired and everything was work,” Fox said. “I just remember being like, “I know that there’s going to be a reward for this, like this is so fucking miserable that I know that I know something good will come of this if I just hang in there.” And then a few days later there I am with Ye, and it was the most instant natural organic attraction and connection. I just feel really safe with him. It’s a redemption story.”
5 Eyebrow-Raising Lyrics From The Game & Kanye West’s “Eazy”
2022 promises a few things for hip hop listeners:
- No sleeping allowed and 2) Ye is looking to let God in more through his music.
The artist formerly known as Kanye West followed up on his numerous sneak peeks at his new song, “Eazy,” featuring The Game, with the 24-hour Spotify-exclusive release of the track late Friday night.
With rumors of Donda 2 in the works, a video of Ye on a FaceTime call with DJ Premier was uploaded by designer Tracey Mills. During the chat, Ye asked the legendary producer if he’d be willing to add some scratches to the project. The song also samples Michel’le from the DJ Yella and Dr. Dre-produced hip hop classic, “Eazy Duz It” by Eazy E.
“We about to just control the sound of music,” Ye said to Premier on the call, adding, “it’s up to us now, period.”
From there the process sped up with Ye posting the song’s original title, “MY LIFE WAS NEVER EAZY” to Instagram, iHeart Radio’s Real 92.3 then-debuting the collaboration on Friday, Jan. 14, and finally made exclusively available to Spotify for 24 hours until arriving to all DSPs later today (Jan. 15).
According to Genius, “Eazy” presumably belongs to a collaborative album between The Game and Hit-Boy, but Ye has murkied the waters a bit, saying that this song is for “all of our” albums, including Pusha T, who was also reportedly featured on the track.
“Life should be easy for everybody,” The Game shared in a statement with Complex. “We make the choice to complicate it for ourselves and others. Change your perspective and change the world.”
However you may react to the song, here are five eyebrow-raising lines we pulled from The Game and Ye’s new offering.
Listen to the full song below and unpack your thoughts with us @BETMusic and @BET.
“How I ain’t bring nothing to the table when I’m the table?!”
It’s no secret that no one loves Kanye quite like Kanye. But with Ye sharing a peek into the back-and-forth happening in his pending divorce with Kim, the messy bar is sure to overshadow the reuniting of Ye and Hit-Boy after their much-publicized beef.
“‘Mr. Narcissist,’ tell me ‘bout my arrogance / No more counselling’, I don’t negotiate with therapists.”
Much news has been made about Ye’s mental health and his own statements have made lines such as this ones that are re-shared on social media and turned into thinkpieces. You can see “I don’t negotiate with therapists” popping up on T-shirts already.
“N***a, we havin’ the best divorce ever / If we go to court, we’ll go to court together / Matter of fact, pick up your sis, we’ll go to Kourt’s together.”
Whether you subscribe to gossip sites, TMZ, or your favorite hip hop blogs, everyone knows about the drama happening between Ye and Kim. After making a public plea at last year’s #FreeLarryHoover concert, now it seems that Ye feels the best move is an amicable end to their union.
“Noncustodial dad, I bought the house next door / What you think the point of really bein’ rich for?!”
You can hear all the noncustodial fathers in the room whisper amongst each other about how much of a flex this bar is. Ye made headlines by buying a $4.5 million home across the street from Kim, but on “Eazy,” he doubles-down on his family man efforts by asking this question reserved for the billionaires and co-parenting ballers.
“God saved me from that crash / Just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s ass (Who?)”
Saturday Night Live comedian and writer Pete Davidson dating Kim Kardashian wasn’t on anyone’s 2021-2022 bingo card, and yet, here we are. The funny man may respond during the Jan. 15 airing of the live show, but for now, Ye has turned the hot goss into a hot line that will surely find its way into the pop culture lexicon.

Kanye West spotted in the studio with Blueface
]
Kanye West has been spotted working in the studio with LA rapper Blueface ahead of the reported sequel to last year’s ‘DONDA’.
The pair, who have not previously worked together, were all smiles in a pic that has been circulating on social media. You can see the snap below.
What Ye and Blueface were working on is yet to be determined, but it was reported earlier this month that the former is busy working on ‘DONDA 2’, less than six months after the release of part one.

In a statement to Complex Magazine, Steven Victor – who worked with West as COO of his label, G.O.O.D Music – claimed that West was working on what he described as “his new masterpiece”.
West later confirmed Victor’s statement in a text message conversation with Moneybagg Yo. “I got to lock in with you on Donda 2,” West texted the Memphis rapper. “Money in front of us. Bullshit behind us.”
Moneybagg Yo was recently seen in the studio with Ye, The Game and controversial NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown.
The news of West working on new music comes under a week after footage surfaced of him in the studio with rapper Scarface. West was also said to be in the studio with both Post Malone and Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes this past September.

West revealed this week that he’s planning to release a new song soon – one that is likely to feature Pusha T, The Game and DJ Premier.
The rapper and producer, who is now legally known as Ye, spoke about the plans during a recorded phone call with Premier earlier this week, which has since surfaced online.
He was also spotted with Madonna and a host of other notable celebrities listening to Drake‘s music during a gathering in LA on Wednesday (January 12).
West released the original ‘DONDA’ on August 29, after multiple delays throughout the month and several changes to the album itself. The progress of the album was charted through several listening parties, where West would make changes to it following each one.
In a three-star review, NME‘s Rhian Daly described ‘DONDA’ as “incredibly – and unnecessarily – long”.
“There are plenty of seeds of what could be good ideas here, and some legit great tracks, but had he taken a little more time to edit things, this could have been a classic,” the review added.
