There is one word that can best describe the new album
My Name Is My Name from rapper Pusha T, and that word is consistency. After years of waiting, King Push finally gives fans what they have been longing for....a solo album. Some thought it would never come, and others were patiently waiting for the release. Yet, it came out as an excellent rap album. Kanye West was the Executive Producer on the project, and features included people such as Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Kelly Rowland, Pharrell, Future, and Kendrick Lamar. They all did their repsected jobs on the project properly, which adds to the album's dopeness. Pusha T is one of rap’s best lyricists, and the album can really be reffered to as an authentic rap album simply because of his skill in just that one category. Yet, that isn't just it, this Virginian MC has great instrumentation on the LP, His flows are great, and the lyrics he used scream consistency throughout this solo LP. The beats he chose for the project are stupendous, especially on tracks like "Pain" which features Future, and "Hold On" which features a deep verse from Rozay, as well as Kanye West's singing voice on the beat. The wordplay, double-entendres, political references, and story telling on the project are the final selling points that will leave a listener in pure awe of the album. Overall, Pusha T really does his thing on his first major album, and we should truly expect an encore and then some from this half of Clipse.
Overall Grade: 8.5/10
Standout Tracks: "Pain" (feat Future), "Hold On" (feat Rick Ross), "S.N.I.T.C.H." (feat Pharrell), "King Push", "Numbers On the Boards" & "Nosetalgia" (feat. Kendrick Lamar).
