Me and Yezos/ Wash, then dry, said, "Give me all of mine in pesos". Yezos is Ye’s nickname given by Pusha. The track ‘Diet Coke’ might prove to be the lead single off his latest album. The song also samples Fat Joe’s voice, including his popular phrase, “Yesterday’s price is not today’s price.” Pusha T dropped his last album called ‘Daytona’ in 2018 that included hits like ‘What Would Meek Do?’ and ‘The Games We Play’. The album peaked at number three on the US Billboard 200 chart. Speaking of his new album in October 2021, the ‘Runaway’ hitmaker told Billboard that he had topped ‘Daytona’ 1000 percent for sure.
