While he has yet to follow up acclaimed album DAYTONA, Pusha T will return to action tonight with a new single titled "Diet Coke."

Today, a first tease of King Push's latest came from manager and record exec Steven Victor, who shared shots of a black and white music video shoot featuring the artist formerly known as Kanye West. That was soon followed by an announcement from Pusha himself, who confirmed that "Diet Coke" arrives at 12 a.m. ET.

Additionally, "Diet Coke" features production from 88-Keys, who confirmed his involvement in sharing that the beat is a composition that is nearly two decades old. "I made that beat 18 years ago," the producer revealed during a recent Instagram Live broadcast, recalling how he had included it on a beat tape titled The Makings of Crack Cocaine

Pusha T delivered the West-produced DAYTONA in 2018, earning a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album at the 2019 Grammy Awards. That same year, he shared solo singles "Sociopath" with Kash Doll, and "Coming Home" with Lauryn Hill.

In 2021, Pusha T was among the artists who contributed to West's Donda, but ultimately didn't appear on the album's final version.

While it remains to be seen whether or not the arrival of "Diet Coke" marks the start of an album rollout campaign, Pusha T's collaborator is well on his way to releasing Donda 2 later this month.
