Pusha T Drops 'Mike Tyson Blow to the Face' Produced by Pharrell
Pusha T has once again proven why he remains one of hip-hop’s most elite lyricists with his latest track, “Mike Tyson Blow to the Face.” Produced by longtime collaborator Pharrell Williams, the song delivers the gritty, razor-sharp bars that fans have come to expect from the Virginia-bred rapper.
The track made its debut as part of Pharrell’s short film, “All Day I Dream About Sport,” a 20-minute visual homage to West African culture, co-directed with Gabriel Moses. The film, which premiered on Le Cinéma Club, is available for free streaming until February 21, 2025. While the song has not yet been officially released on major streaming platforms, snippets have surfaced online, fueling excitement among Pusha T’s loyal fanbase.
A Throwback to Classic Clipse Energy
“Mike Tyson Blow to the Face” has already been compared to Pusha T’s early work with Clipse, the legendary rap duo he formed with his brother, No Malice. The song’s hard-hitting production, laced with Pharrell’s signature bounce and eerie synths, evokes memories of the duo’s early Neptunes-produced bangers.
Beyond the track itself, there’s even bigger news for fans of the Clipse era: Pusha T and No Malice are reuniting for a brand-new Clipse album. Pharrell, who was instrumental in shaping their sound in the early 2000s, is set to produce the entire project, making this one of the most anticipated rap releases of the year.
The Clipse Reunion: A Long-Awaited Return
Since their last official album, Til the Casket Drops (2009), Clipse fans have been waiting for the duo to reassemble for a full-length project. Over the years, No Malice shifted towards more spiritually conscious music, while Pusha T cemented his place as a solo heavyweight. However, their recent collaborative efforts—such as their verses on “I Pray for You” from Pusha’s 2022 album It’s Almost Dry—have hinted at something bigger in the works.
Now, with Pharrell at the helm, the new Clipse album is expected to blend their trademark street narratives with forward-thinking production. While details remain scarce, insiders suggest that the project could drop sometime in mid-to-late 2025.
For now, fans can catch glimpses of “Mike Tyson Blow to the Face” in Pharrell’s short film, and anticipation is only building for what’s next from both Pusha T and Clipse. If this track is any indication, hip-hop is about to get another dose of unfiltered, high-quality bars straight from Virginia’s finest.
