"I have to remind Pusha T that he is Pusha T," Kanye West recently informed Zane Lowe in their now infamous interview. "On the radio, if they're not playing a song of his that has an R&B singer on, it's like we forget about that Clipse album that meant everything." One of the most consistent rappers period, Pusha hasn't dropped a subpar verse since he and his brother recorded their unreleased debut 'Exclusive Audio Footage' back in '97...

There is no shortage of coke rappers in today's oversaturated music market. However, there is a white line of sorts that separates the dopest from the others. The story of the one-time drug dealer gone legit and recalling his past over beats is one that has been told time and time again by the likes of Jay Z, Young Jeezy, T.I., 50 Cent, Yo Gotti and even hip-hop's resident law enforcement official, Rick Ross, to an extent...

Wasup? Me again. 2013 has been a very busy and wild year for the Hip-Hop community. It is not often that we are treated to albums from Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Kanye West, J.Cole, Wale, Mac Miller, Drake, Big Sean and a whole lot more in the space of less than 12 months. As if this year wasn't great for hip-hop fans around the world already, we finally get the highly-anticipated Pusha T album in 2013...

After more than a decade of rapping about selling cocaine, you might think Pusha T would be running out of white-lined road. But on the Marlo Stanfield-quoting, Kanye West-backed My Name Is My Name, Pusha manages to subtly reposition himself as a chart-ready street bard (while still weaving in the obligatory references to blow)...

Pusha T - My Name Is My NamePusha T- My Name Is My NameRelease Date: October 8, 2013Record Label: GOOD Music
Although My Name Is My Name may be Pusha T's debut album, the 36-year old rapper is no stranger to the game. For years, Pusha T and his brother Malice released music together as the duo Clipse, and their 2006 album Hell Hath No Fury is one of the most essential albums in the genre from the past decade...

For years, Pusha T and his brother Malice released music together as the duo Clipse, and their 2006 album Hell Hath No Fury is one of the most essential albums in the genre from the past decade. But following their just average Til The Cakset Drops in 2009, Clipse was put on hold and Pusha T had to begin exploring his opportunities as a solo artist...

"This my time, this is my hour," Pusha T opens the first track on My Name Is My Name, what is technically his first solo full-length release. It's not just bravado either - it does indeed seem that way, an oft-overlooked rapper's prime moment to shine. If Kendrick Lamar delivered the universal Verse of the Year on 'Control' then you'd be hard-pressed to find a better, more brilliantly idiosyncratic beat over the past twelve months than on this LP's lead cut, 'Numbers On The Boards'...

From serving as executive producer to the DONDA-designed artwork, Kanye West's fingerprints are all over Pusha T's solo debut. That said, Yeezy's most important influence on the album might be its brevity - MNIMN is an economical 46 minutes. Like the Inuit's reputed 50 words for "snow," Pusha, who helped popularize "coke rap" in the 2000s as one-half of Clipse, has at least that many synonyms for the other white powder...
