King Push is almost here, and because we’ve all been so patient, the G.O.O.D. Music president was kind enough to drop his new single with Jay Z this evening.

Pusha first teased the track earlier today, tweeting “First single off the forthcoming #KingPush Album…Tonight.”
The DJ Dahi-produced track is the first collaboration between Pusha and the ROC Nation CEO, and it snaps about as much as you’d expect from such a delightfully sinister collab. For one thing, it samples conservative anchor Tomi Lahren’s post-Superbowl Beyonce criticism (“Your husband was a drug dealer. For 14 years, he sold crack cocaine,”) before allowing Hov to re-introduce himself: “Bitch I been brackin’ since the 80s / Google me, baby.” He tosses in a “Bling Bling” nod, and caps it all off with a “Damn Daniel” reference: “Life made me ambidextrous / Countin’ with my right, whipping white with my left wrist / Damn Daniel / FBI keep bringing them all white vans through.”
That’s two new Jay Z features in the span of a week. Whether that joint Beyonce album is really coming is anyone’s guess, but it’s good have him back all the same.
“Drug Dealers Anonymous” is streaming as a Tidal exclusive for one week. Listen to it below.
