No Sugarcoating: Pusha T’s ‘Sweet Serenade’ Video Shoot With Chris Brown

Posted byBy Leo | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

As Pusha T gets closer to the release of his much-anticipated album My Name Is My Name, he has been releasing new records, making appearances and now he’s making a new video.

Pusha T brought fans behind the scenes for his upcoming video for his single “Sweet Serenade.” According to mtv.com:

“The album’s first official single ‘Sweet Serenade’ is anything but — and its upcoming video follows suit. “Sweet Serenade, it doesn’t sound really sweet. It’s pretty dark so to capture that we came and shot on the beach at night time, bonfire,” Push told MTV News on Monday from his video shoot at Playa del Rey in California.”

Sweet Serenade features Pusha T’s fellow Virginia native Chris Brown on the hook. Pusha also talks about his respect for Breezy.

“I like Chris. Chris has an edge to him that’s very real; he’s a real person, he goes through real situations,” Push said of his latest collaborator. “Me and Chris are just two passionate artists about our craft, and we actually give a damn.”

Push T’s My Name Is My Name is scheduled to be released on Oct. 8 and Pusha has high expectations.  ”It’s definitely gonna be the hip-hop album of the year. It’s the rap album of all rap albums,” he says.

Check out the Sweet Serenade behind-the-scenes video above, and listen to the full song below.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
