CONCERT REVIEW: Pusha T @ The Blockley, 11/29

Pusha T stopped by the Blockley last Thursday night to perform for hip-hop week (Philadelphia’s Freeway, Talib Kweli and Stalley were there earlier in the week), marking the first time he's played Philly since joining his G.O.O.D. Music labelmates on stage at the Budweiser Made in America festival. He was also performing with A-Trak and A$AP Rocky in New York City on Thursday night, which is the reason he didn't arrive for this show until 12:30 a.m. Despite the delay, the Blockley exploded when the Clipse member appeared on stage.

While most fans appreciated “Exodus 23:1” and “I Still Wanna” (especially when fellow Re-Up Gang member Ab-Liva came on stage to perform his part), it was Cruel Summer tracks “Mercy,” “I Don’t Like” and “New God Flow” that got the crowd excited. He was only on stage for 45 minutes, but Pusha T gave an energetic performance and kept the bar’s crowd entertained with some of his characteristic, intelligently menacing wordplay.
