“It’s no risk without gain, it’s no trust without shame, it’s no us without Cain’, Push, my name is my name.” Pusha T’s first single “Pain,” was released about a year ago in anticipation for his long awaited album My Name Is My Name, which hit stores on Tuesday. The Future-assisted track features the usual dark lyrics from King Push as he raps over the Kanye West and No I.D. produced record.
The haunting visuals give off the same dark, minimalistic vibe that his other MNIMN videos, “King Push,” “Nostalgia,” and “Sweet Serenade,” all accomplish. Face hidden by a shadow, white and black color scheme, and silhouettes of his infamous braids, it’s got to be Push. The G.O.O.D. Music rapper bobs and weaves with his aggressive lyrics as the visuals contrast with images of police brutality, the civil rights movement, and riot arrests.
But Pusha stands strong, “I don’t never feel pain, cause I done felt too much pain.” The video comes to a close as Pusha T goes up in flames and for good reason, the man’s on fire.
My Name Is My Name is available for purchase on iTunes.
