Pusha T is currently putting final touches to his yet untitled debut album which is expected to release at the end of the year via Def Jam. Pusha tells MTV that the LP has a cinematic influence drawn from ‘Devil’s Advocate’. He also previews a new, thought provoking song called ’40 Acres’ produced by The-Dream and Rico Beats.
“This album was based off the movie ‘Devil’s Advocate.’ Not theme-wise at all, but just in the feel of the album. ‘Devil’s Advocate’ is a very dark movie, but at the same time, visually, it’s beautiful. The album is based off of that because I speak about the harsh realities of street life but there’s a lot of glitz and glamour that comes along with that. If you just look at it at face value, you might think, ‘It sounds a bit like he’s glorifying [street life],’ but when you get tuned into the record, you realize that you get both sides of it. There’s a scene where one of Charlize Theron’s girlfriends — a beautiful woman — is trying on clothes, and as Charlize is looking at her, her face turns into a monster. That’s one of the scenes that really paints the picture of the beauty and the dark side of my album.”
