Pusha T

Terrence LeVarr Thornton, better known by his stage name Pusha T, is an American rapper. He rose to prominence as one half of the Virginia-based hip-hop duo Clipse, which he formed with his older brother Malice. Established in 1994, the duo were discovered by Pharrell Williams and signed with his record label Star Trak Entertainment, an imprint of Arista Records, in 2001. They initially released three studio albums—Lord Willin', Hell Hath No Fury and Til the Casket Drops —to mild commercial success; the former spawned the Billboard Hot 100-top 40 singles "Grindin'" and "When the Last Time", for which they became best known. After the duo disbanded in 2010, Thornton began pursuing a solo career. He signed with Kanye West's record label GOOD Music, an imprint of Def Jam Recordings following his guest appearance on West's 2010 single "Runaway", which peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2011, he released two solo projects—Fear of God and Fear of God II: Let Us Pray—before releasing his debut studio album, My Name Is My Name.
