It has been a long time since Virginia native, Pusha T uttered the words, “I’m your Pusha.”

Now a veteran in the rap game, whose debut solo album “My Name is my Name” dropping later this year, Pusha gives his fans something to hold them over after releasing “Fear of God” and “Fear Of God II: Let Us Pray.”

His mixtape, “Wrath of Caine,” is everything fans have come to love about Pusha T, bringing gritty lyrics, street poetry and authenticity.

From the moment the mixtape starts, the intro presents a ghetto gospel feel that sets the tempo for the rest of the tape.

The next song is the anticipated collaboration “Millions” featuring Rick Ross which “gets the people going” as Will Ferrell would say.

As the tape progresses, the sound evolves. Songs like “Doesn’t Matter” featuring French Montana and Blocka, and “Revolution” produced by Neptunes, make use of the smooth sounds Pusha is known for killing.

“Only You Can Tell It” featuring Wale is another track worth listening to.

Towards the end of the tape, Pusha T reveals to listeners what he has done in his career to date with a song entitled, “Take my Life.”

“Wrath of Caine” closes out with “I am Forgiven,” a continuation of “Take my Life,” stating events throughout his career. In the end, he boasts and brags saying, “I am Forgiven!”

Pusha fans should be pleased with “Wrath of Caine.” As he states, “It’s just an appetizer” to his album, “My Name is My Name.”

One thing for sure, after listening to this mixtape, listeners will probably ask, “This Sound like God. Don’t It?”
