Music, the Def Jam imprint founded by Kanye West. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In an interview with Billboard, Pusha revealed the new appointment was four months in the making.  He added that Kanye offered him the position with the intent of bringing a &#8220;very manicured&#8221; approach to the label. &#8220;I always look at it as an opportunity to help the team and I think that artistically, me and Kanye have the same vision,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I\u2019m not out here shooting in the dark, doing any and every thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With the new appointment, Pusha believes it may be easier to get Kanye involved now that his responsibilities have been reduced. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think we\u2019ll be getting the best out of him, executive producing projects that come from the label from here on out because he gets to really hone in as a producer,&#8221; Pusha said. &#8220;I\u2019ll take care of all the logistics, the rallying of the troops, and so on and so forth. He don\u2019t gotta be producer, A&amp;R, rapper and everything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, he said he&#8217;ll release songs from his next solo LP\u2014which is called King Push\u2014before the start of 2016. &#8220;My album is just a whole other thing in all honesty,&#8221; he said. &#8220;F\u2019real, what you\u2019re gonna get from this King Push album is something people probably haven\u2019t heard in the past 18 years. I\u2019m just putting it together, aiming for classic material.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Pusha T, G.O.O.D.&#8217;s current roster includes Q-Tip, Big Sean, Kacy Hill, and Teyana Taylor.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Pusha T has been named the president of G.O.O.D.
