Last December, Pusha revealed his new album would only have production from Kanye West and The Neptunes.
“Oh, listen, as of right now it’s only Ye and Pharrell — and Neptunes, I’m sorry,” he said at the time. “That’s it, ain’t nothing to talk about. You know I bring the best out. I bring the best, I bring the best out of everybody.”
Pusha’s manager Steven Victor added to the hype, “I gotta say, I heard a couple of the Pharrell joints — listen. I heard like four of them joints and I immediately put an order in for a car.”
