Part of the once acclaimed Virginia Beach hip hop duo Clipse, Pusha T is a veteran rapper who’s been on the back burner for a while. Prematurely assuming his influence was dead set in the early 00’s Neptune’s revolution; he triumphantly emerged on that album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Somewhat a small fry in Pusha’s peak, Kanye West has blown the breath of life in his career. Now signed to West’s GOOD Music label (as well as Decon records), Pusha returns with a chip on his shoulder and a mark to make on this signature single.

Before this week I had never heard of The Monday Club and now I simply cannot get enough of them. The Sheffield band consists of Paul Hawksworth (Vocals & Lead Guitar), Darren Ullyett (Vocals & Guitar), Steve Scott (Bass) and Marc Wragg (Drums). They are an indie guitar rock outfit and are a complete breath of fresh air when you compare it against the likes of most of the drivel that currently resides in the UK chart these days.
