Pusha T Drops ‘Drug Dealers Anonymous’ Feat. Jay Z

Pusha’s already droppin’ fire from his upcoming King Push album, the follow-up to 2015’s Darkest Before Dawn: The Prelude.

A week after remixing Fat Joe and Remy Ma’s “All the Way Up,” HOV hops on Pusha T’s first single to talk that stick talk on “Drug Dealers Anonymous.”

Jay Z boast about his “gorgeous” paper trail, and admits he’s still selling drugs, in a way. There’s even a soundbite from conservative TV anchor Tomi Lahren, who caught major flack after criticizing Beyonce for having a “14 year drug dealing” husband.

According to Pusha, Kanye suggested Jay Z’s presence on the track. The drug dealer chic rapper told Genius the email exchange went a little something like this:

The news reporter that called you a 14-year drug dealer, this was the inspiration behind it. Here’s my verse. I left some extra beat for you. Let me know what you think either way.

WTF? Why you taking me to a dark place? Now I’m going to grow my hair out to be on this track with you…

Man, there’s nothing wrong with telling ghost stories. We need them. We love them. We love these things.
After a break in the communication, during which Jay likely began crafting his verse, he hit Pusha back.

Oh this is going to be bad. Oh this is going to be real, real bad. I’ll just blame it all on you.

Ok, that’s fine.
Jay takes the night to finish his verse and responds the next morning.
