Behind The Scenes: Pusha T, Rick Ross Release ‘Hold On’ Video

Posted byBy Leo | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Pusha T gave the music world one of the best rap records of the year when he released his debut solo album “My Name Is My Name.” Now Pusha T is releasing more visuals for the album and taking fans behind the scenes, as he shoots a new video for the song “Hold On” that features Rick Ross. According to mtv.com:

“If you consider Pusha T’s street-soaked past, you can imagine how motivational his crack-to-rap story can be for some. Last Sunday, the G.O.O.D. Music golden child headed to Hollywood, Florida, with Rick Ross to provide a bit of hustler’s inspiration for ‘Hold On,’ their collaborative cut from Pusha’s solo debut, My Name Is My Name.

“‘The concept of ‘Hold On’ is me and Ross performing in front of some neighborhood guys, lecturing and basically telling the people of the neighborhood — our peers, essentially — that we’re here for them and we’re doing this for them,’ Push told MTV News of the video.”

Pusha T “My Name Is My Name” debuted at No. 4 on the charts, selling 74,000 copies the first week and he hopes to keep that momentum going.

Check out the Pusha T and Rick Ross “Hold On” behind-the-scenes clip below.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
