Pusha T has unveiled a smooth official music video for his equally smooth track, "M.P.A.," featuring Kanye West and A$AP Rocky, off of his latest album, Darkest Before Dawn.
According to NME, "M.P.A." was produced by West, with additional production assistance from J. Cole and Che Pope. It's not nearly the first track West has produced for the rapper, one of the first being November 2014 single, "Lunch Money," which is slated to appear on the artist's next heavily-delayed album.
Both A$AP Rocky and The-Dream appear in the music video, which depicts a sort-of making-of the music video, where Push is seen appearing from once scene to the next. Although West is not featured in the video, his infectious lyrical cut nearly makes the song. The video is somewhat N.S.F.W., but really only because of the lyrics.
The G.O.O.D. Music executive, who was recently named president by West, released his latest studio album on Dec. 18, but it wasn't the long-anticipated King Push. Darkest Before Dawn serves as a prelude to the rapper's next big release, due sometime in the spring.
The star-studded album also features Sean Combs, Jay Z, Lil Wayne, Timbaland, Hudson Mohawke and Q-Tip, as well as a sample of the late Notorious B.I.G. on the Timbaland-produced lead single, "Untouchable," which has one of the most infectious beats we've heard in awhile. The Biggie verse is excerpted from the late rapper's feature on Pudgee's 1995 release, "Think Big."
Pusha T will head out on tour this January in support of the album, first with three Australian dates before returning to North America for an extensive tour in March and early April. He will then head over to Europe for five currently scheduled dates, more of which may follow.
