(Update: Mikey Fresh spoke to Push about the album)
Earlier this evening, Pusha T hit the stage at New York City’s Best Buy Theater for VIBE’s V-Mix concert with A$AP Mob and A-Trak. During his performance, Pusha announced his solo debut album will be called My Name Is My Name. The title is inspired by the famous quote of Marlo Stanfield on the television series The Wire. Set to be released on G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam, the album will arrive early 2013. Before then, the Virginia spitter will end the year off with his Wrath of Caine mixtape.
Check the announcement via media who attended the show below…

“My name is my name!”- John Procter, is better as a literary and film reference from “The Crucible”
Best part of the whole story.
Heard Currency mention that shit on his “Return to the winners Circle” mixtape one time.

He didn’t get it from The Crucible….he got the title from Marlo in The Wire. Marlo shouted that to his crew.
LOL at you thinking Pusha got the title from a literary classic….

Or maybe he did. Your skepticism looks very racist. Pusha may have sold drugs but he’s very intelligent, not unlike Jay, whom at 6th grade tested at a 12th grade level.

Hard to be racist against Pusha when I’m Black…
I don’t think my statement means that Pusha isn’t intelligent. It means that after listening to his music all these years, and his influences, I’m positive that’s where he got it from and he used it as a title because he knows that his audience would pick up on the Wire reference right away.
Friggin hipsters. The real issue is how you DIDN’T pick up on that right away and still don’t seem to understand the reason he used it.

I know The Wire reference is more likely, I thought you were making it seem like he wasn’t intelligent enough to be referencing The Crucible
