While the COVID-19 epidemic is upending the music industry and confining millions of people to their homes, it’s also jump-starting the creative process for many artists. One rapper who isn’t hitting the brakes is Pusha-T. During a recent AMA-style Discord discussion with fans, the Virginia MC revealed that he has three separate projects in the works, including collaborations with some big names.

“I’m actually working on three projects right now,” he said. “So, you know, with everything that’s going on in the world right now, of course we’re not all together. But I’m well in on my next project.” He doesn’t plan to have many features, either. “It’s looking kind of selfish right now, to be honest,” he said. “I got a lot to say, man. A lot’s went on. A lot to address.”

He is, however, getting some beats from none other than Tyler, The Creator. He told fans that unlike the alternative sound of IGOR, Tyler is making more traditional beats for him.

“Tyler gave me a pack of like nine [beats]. I think I did like four of ‘em. And I don’t know where they’re gonna end up at, but I got 'em… I make him go straight hip-hop, like, full-fledged. It’s full ignorance with me,” he revealed. “I don’t want to experiment. I want to do only the filthiest of hip-hop these days.”

The two rappers previously collaborated on 2011’s “Trouble On My Mind.” Push also rapped over one of Tyler’s beats on “Oooh,” a track from the 2011 Play Cloths Holiday Mixtape

Last year, Madlib told Complex that he was in the lab with Push, a fact that the G.O.O.D. Music president confirmed without offering too many specifics.

“We’re cooking,” he hinted. “That’s really all I can really say about it… You know, with me and producers, to me it’s like I’m going to school. So he’s just like another teacher to me.” Although Madlib has never produced a Pusha-T track before, they did work together on Freddie Gibbs‘ 2019 song, “Palmolive.”

Pusha-T’s last album, DAYTONA, dropped in 2018, and earned the rapper a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album. Since then, he’s linked up with Kash Doll and Lauryn Hill for the respective singles “Sociopath” and “Coming Home.” He also launched his new, Virginia-based label Heir Wave Music Group.
