Track of the Day: Pusha T & Nicholas Britell “Puppets” (2019)

Though it looks like fiercely defiant Virginia rapper Pusha T may be reuniting with his brother (No) Malice on Kanye West’s forthcoming album Jesus is King, the beastly emcee is still in his zone when his solo.

Proof: “Puppets”. Push rapping over the theme song from HBO show Succession has quickly become one of the brightest hip hop tracks of October, taking the complex Nicholas Britell composition and giving it new life, blazing up the piece by exploring the show’s many base themes in his own visceral way.
