It’s almost time to Let God Sort ‘Em Out – and new details about the project are dropping every day. Pusha has been on one of the pettiest press runs possibly ever, letting the world know how he feels about “the engine giving out on rap.” The petty highlight reel includes calling Travis Scott “a whore” and saying Ye isn’t a man—it’s been uncensored to say the least. However, fans are most excited to hear what Kendrick Lamar has to say on the confirmed track “Chains & Whips” — and potentially an additional track as well?
Pusha says K. Dot “wanted to do two” album cuts
In a new interview with Spotify, Pusha broke down the process and call that led up to the duo securing one of the most anticipated verses of the year.
“It was a situation with the traffic of people just coming in and out of the studio and it happened to be a person from Kendrick’s camp who was in the studio. We let his folks hear the album. And he called them and was like ‘Listen, you need to get on this.’ Mind you, at this particular time, he was just super busy [but we] sent those songs over…” Pusha explains.
Dot hitting Pusha and No Malice back laughing shouldn’t be much of a surprise since he loves to get into his petty bag, too.
“He was like, ‘OK. I got to do it. Don’t worry about it. I want to do two.’ The idea of the right place and right time makes everything happen … And it’s music so you can get caught up in the moment. Like you can catch people up in the moment was something polarizing,” Pusha said.
The features list is a true family affair
Now, Pusha didn’t confirm or deny if there is a second K. Dot feature on the project, but Clipse did drop the album’s official tracklist and stacked features list on June 30th.
Some of the other tracks and additional collaborations include:
- John Legend: Featured on the previously teased song “The Birds Don’t Sing.”
- Tyler, the Creator: Featured on the track “P.O.V.” after collabing with Pusha on the 2011 track “Trouble on My Mind” and showing Clipse love in 2022.
- The-Dream: Featured on the track “All Things Considered,” he’s previously worked with Pharrell and Ye.
- Stove God Cooks: Featured on the track “F.I.C.O.” and has received a co-sign from Pusha.
- Ab-Liva: Featured on the track “Inglorious Bastards” and was a former member of the Re-Up Gang with Clipse.
- Nas: Featured on the track “Let God Sort Em Out/Chandeliers” after Pusha thought he would be perfect to be a part of it.
- Pharrell Williams: Featured on four tracks, including “So Far Ahead” and “The Grace of God,” and also serving as executive producer of the album.
Those lucky enough to have already heard the album are giving it a gold star. Rolling Stone, in their early review, stated that “whatever the year, Pusha and Malice are richer than you, smarter than you, and much better at making rap music than you’ll ever be” — and Pusha T showed their appreciation online.
Pusha in the Spotify interview declared that they would “love to take home the [Grammy] trophy: for the project — and if the reviews and eventual fan reactions keep rolling in like this, they might actually secure that bag.
