Pusha T teams with frequent producer Kanye West on his minimal, droning new song “Sociopath.” Throughout the track, the Good Music rapper takes a laid-back approach — shouting out a woman’s exquisite taste and marveling over charcuterie boards — over echoing vocals, 808-styled cowbell and booming synth-bass.
“New jewelries/ New taste levels, shit, she be schooling me,” Pusha T raps. “I got a chick that’ll master your card/ Nice with the Visas, passports is art.” Kash Doll pops up with a brief guest spot in the second verse, countering all of Pusha’s lines.
