Pusha T has added a new London performance at Brixton Academy to his upcoming UK and Ireland tour in support of his album It’s Almost Dry, released earlier this year. In celebration of Gorillaz’s headline performance at London’s All Points East festival, the rapper appeared as support for the band yesterday and will now return again in December.

It’s Almost Dry, Pusha T’s fourth studio album was released in April. Pusha told NME that it’s the “rap album of the motherfucking year,” and NME gave it a perfect five-star review. The review said: “The 44-year-old has proved time and time again that he’s your go-to for hip-hop classics – and his fourth studio album consolidates his status”. It continued: “Pusha T has managed to elevate his art to new heights, signalling that the artist is nowhere close to being done. Despite being longer than ‘Daytona’, there is succinct preciseness to ‘It’s Almost Dry’ with Pusha’s lyricism, in particular, never left wanting. Alongside the outstanding production, it makes for an instant hip-hop classic.”
Pusha T is a hip-hop artist and record company executive. He gained notoriety as one half of the hip hop group Clipse, which consisted of his older brother No Malice and was primarily active from 1994 until 2010. As Clipse, the two enjoyed smash singles like “Grindin” and “When the Last Time,” as well as three studio albums and several mixtapes. They also established the record company Re-Up Records and the clothing line Play Cloths.
Pusha T joined Def Jam Recordings in September 2010 and signed to Kanye West’s GOOD Music imprint. He appeared on Kanye West’s song “Runaway” later that year, which reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2013, he released My Name Is My Name, his first solo album. In November 2015, Kanye West named Pusha T to succeed him as president of GOOD Music.
