Listen to Pusha T’s Puppets (Succession, HBO Series) [New Song]
Pusha T is here with a new song titled “Puppets” a Succession theme song remix. The rapper took to Twitter to share a snippet of the upcoming track, which boasts the imagery-heavy title “Puppets.” Succession is a runaway hit for HBO, and the gripping drama’s theme song composed by Nicholas Britell.
Dubbing the slow-burning single the “soundtrack to his life,” Pusha rides the Nicholas Brittel composed instrumental with a noted sense of purpose. “If you love me please don’t judge me,” spits Pusha. “Got my hands tied, the powers above me / don’t shoot the messenger, I’m just a puppet here / if you want to place blame, look to the puppeteer.”
Pusha T first heard about Succession from his manager, who said the rapper reminded him of Logan Roy. (When I ask him about this comparison, he demurs: “I mean, I’m a little bit [like him].”) He happened to meet Britell in Los Angeles, at a Pharrell recording session. Pusha says he caught up on Succession’s first season and then Britell pitched him the remix.
“We talked about the connection to power and its dynamic, issues writ large: struggle, pain, all of the things we could deal with,” Britell says. Then Pusha went into the studio: “[Nick] gave me this track, and I said all right. I said, ‘So I’mma go back, and I’m gonna listen to it, and I’mma just come up with some things.’”
The song has already been remixed by fans, memed, and even turned into a ringtone, but Britell knew exactly who he wanted to make the remix for the show itself: “There was only one person on the list of people to reach out to.
