With Pusha T‘s Fear Of God: Let Us Pray scheduled for release September 27, the Virginia boy is already getting prepared to work on a new mixtape to follow up the EP. The project tentatively titled Long Live The ‘Caine is a play on Big Daddy Kane‘s Long Live The Kane album.
So now the EP is done, what are you working on next?
I’m about to start working on my own mixtape, Long Live The ‘Caine, as in cocaine.
Like the Big Daddy Kane album?
Yes, the play on Big Daddy Kane’s Long Live The Kane.
There are lots of Big Daddy Kane titles that could be flipped: Wrath of Kane…
[Shouts to manager] Yo, what if I call the album the Wrath of ‘Caine? It would be sort of hard. That was, like, my favorite Big Daddy Kane record.
