While details are still scarce, a few project notes leaked online earlier this year.
The album’s first single, “Kinda Like a Big Deal,” is produced by DJ Khalil and features Kanye West. Pusha T was tight-lipped when asked about the collaboration earlier this year, but said it was something to look for: “Hey, man, it’s just one of them joints.” (MTV News)
