On “Drug Dealers Anonymous,” Pusha T and Jay Z deliver two stellar verses over an eerie DJ Dahi beat. Both MC’s heavily reference their former days as drug dealers and spit autobiographical bars—Push refers to donating to Flint, Michigan during the 2016 water crisis, while Jay takes us back in time to Jaz O’s Word To the Jaz 1989 tour of London.
Separating the verses is a sample of The Blaze reporter Tomi Lahren from her show Tomi. Lahren spoke negatively about Beyoncé’s provocative halftime show at Super Bowl 50, using Jay’s drug dealing past to criticize Bey. Lahren took to Twitter to thank Hov and Pusha for the use of her voice clip.
The song is the first single from Pusha’s King Push, and the first time either artist has featured on the others song. The pair first collaborated on Kanye West’s 2010 posse cut “So Appalled.”
Hova’s music has played a pivotal part in Push’s career—as evident by frequent mentions:
Best d-boy all I’m missing is a dash
Difference between me and Hova
—“King Push”
Sold more dope than the old Jigga
Now niggas calling me the new Hov
—“No Flex Zone (Remix)”
The two have many things in common: heavy affiliation with Kanye and Pharrell, Drake subliminals, and, as made obvious by “Drug Dealers Anonymous,” an abundance of drug references in their music.
