A member of the hip-hop duo Clipse, rapper Pusha T<br />
was born Terrence Thornton in the Bronx but was raised<br />
in Virginia Beach, Virginia along with his brother Gene<br />
Thornton. With Gene taking on the name Malice, the<br />
brothers formed Clipse in the early ‘90s, quickly forming<br />
a relationship with the Neptunes’ Pharrell Williams and<br />
embarking on a career that would include major-label<br />
record deals and critically revered albums. In 2010, the duo<br />
announced they were taking a break to focus on solo careers.<br />
Pusha would sign with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music<br />
imprint and land on his new label boss’ album My Beautiful<br />
Dark Twisted Fantasy that same year.<br />
In 2011, he issued both the Fear of God street-level mixtape<br />
and its officially released sequel, Fear of God II: Let Us<br />
Pray, which appeared via G.O.O.D. The label released his<br />
official debut album, My Name Is My Name, in 2013, with<br />
guest appearances from Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Kendrick Lamar,<br />
and others. In 2015, the single “Untouchable” arrived,<br />
along with the album King Push - Darkest Before Dawn:<br />
