Congratulations are in order for Pusha T. The "Exodus 23:1" rapper has been named the president of G.O.O.D Music.
According to Billboard, the recent decision to have Virginia rapper/Play Cloths Entrepreneur as president of G.O.O.D Music was sparked four months ago by a phone call from label founder Kanye West. Along with Push joining the label, he will be bringing along his longtime manager Steven Victor to be the label's A&R Director.
Recently Push spoke about exactly how the call between himself and West went down.
"Actually, I was flying home and I had just got into my car at the airport. 'Ye had called me and he was like, 'Tell me something. What do you think about being the president of G.O.O.D. Music?' And I was like, 'Well, what are the things that you're looking for?' And he was basically just like, to manicure the label, make it profitable and be very business-oriented about it going forward in a manicured type of way," he said.
G.O.O.D Music also already has a stellar line-up of musicians on the label which includes; Big Sean, Q-Tip, Teyana Taylor and Kacy Hill. Having Push on board with his experience and knowledge G.O.O.D Music is bound to get even better.
Although Push was just announced as president he already has big plans for the label.
"I just look at capitalizing on everything that I feel like G.O.O.D. Music brings to the music industry, our following, and the culture. First of all, we have incredible artists. It's definitely about getting those albums out in a very manicured fashion. We have great artistic talent that sort of walk the lines of bringing that excitement back in regards to just the art that goes along with it like DONDA, the merch and things like that. Things that kids are really into these days. You see how fashion takes over and these pop-up shops take over and how the music business is a real touring business now, just the things associated with it," he said. "Just building it out to make sure that everybody on the label is really capitalizing off of all the assets that really come with GOOD Music, that we really started, that we've really been good at. Just really executing all the different avenues of music, art, culture and fashion as well."
However, this newest venture in Push's life has is not stopping him from creating his own new music. In-between touring and making his deal with G.O.O.D Music he has been recording his newest album King Push and should have new music out before the end of the year.
Push also gave some insight on what is on his mood board and it includes a G.O.O.D Music compilation album, giving us all hope for a possible Cruel Summer 2.
