As one half of the Clipse, Pusha made a career out of flipping more cocaine metaphors than we can count. Hell Hath No Fury is still one of our favourite albums of all time with lines like “I’m more in touch with the keys, move over Alicia” – and he continues his powder white obsession on ‘Drug Dealers Anonymous’. Over hypnotic and brooding production, Pusha teams up with Jay Z for a mesmerising dealer’s narrative – even sampling political commentator Tomi Lahren’s scathing criticism of Jigga for selling drugs for 14 years.
Jigga had everybody talking with his Lemonade line in the ‘All The Way Up’ remix which addressed Beyonce while simultaneously honouring Gangstarr. Now, he’s generated similar hype in ‘Drug Dealers Anonymous’ with some meme-heavy punchlines: “Life made me ambidextrous/Countin’ with my right, whipping white with my left wrist/Damn Daniel/FBI keep bringing them all white vans through.”
This marks the first time the two have officially collaborated, although they both appeared on Kanye West’s ‘So Appalled’ cut from 2010. Listen to ‘Drug Dealers Anonymous’ below, which is the first single from Pusha’s upcoming King Push project. This is gonna be great:
