It’s one of the best records on the album, though Kanye threatens to derail the whole thing with more references to his divorce from Kim Kardashian on his brief verse. “Dreamin of the Past” Produced by Kanye Westĭonny Hathaway’s soulful cover of John Lennon’s “Jealous Guy” forms the base for this warm, nostalgic sounding record, hearkening back to Kanye’s early “chipmunk soul” production style. The heavy 808s, a pounding, repetitive sample, and droning electronic arrangements make this sound like the accompaniment to a nightclub scene in a Blade movie. This industrial-leaning track could almost be mistaken for a Life of Pablo-era Kanye beat-this might be what Push meant about both producers' styles bleeding into each other on the album. And Pusha T’s last album, 2018’s Daytona, was produced entirely by Kanye to plenty of critical acclaim. In recent years, as Kanye’s outside production work has slowed to a trickle, it’s seemed as if he’s saved his best beats (the ones not on his own albums, at least) for Push. Their collaboration began on an extremely high note: Push’s first G.O.O.D appearance saw him delivering two stellar verses on Kanye’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Push’s solo career marked the beginning of a new fruitful relationship with Kanye West: he signed to G.O.O.D Music, West’s label, in 2010.

Pharrell was also prominently featured on Clipse’s fan favorite Re-Up Gang mixtapes. Pharrell and Hugo would of course go on to become the Neptunes, and produce Clipse’s two classic albums in 2002’s Lord Willin’ and 2006’s Hell Hath No Fury, and contribute to their final record as a duo, 2009’s Til The Casket Drops. Pusha T and Pharrell’s relationship extends back the furthest: Along with Chad Hugo, the three Virginia natives met in high school. But no two people have melded with him more to bring out the very best of his style than superproducers Pharrell Williams and Kanye West-who happen to be the sole producers on It’s Almost Dry, Pusha’s new album.

Whether solo or with Clipse, Pusha does what Pusha does: whips up the most extravagant drug dealer fantasies and street rap legend-building, no matter the production style or context. As one of raps most premier lyricists, Pusha T can glide over production from almost anyone.
