Terrence LeVarr Thornton (born May 13, 1977), better known by his stage name Pusha T, is an American rapper. He rose to prominence as one half of the Virginia-based hip hop duo Clipse, which he formed with his older brother Malice. Established in 1994, the duo were discovered by Pharrell Williams and signed with his record label Star Trak Entertainment, an imprint of Arista Records, in 2001. They initially released three studio albums—Lord Willin' (2002), Hell Hath No Fury (2006) and Til the Casket Drops (2009)—to mild commercial success; the former spawned the Billboard Hot 100-top 40 singles "Grindin'" and "When the Last Time", for which they became best known.
After the duo disbanded in 2010, Thornton began pursuing a solo career. He signed with Kanye West's record label GOOD Music, an imprint of Def Jam Recordings following his guest appearance on West's 2010 single "Runaway", which peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2011, he released two solo projects—Fear of God and Fear of God II: Let Us Pray—before releasing his debut studio album, My Name Is My Name (2013). A critical and commercial success, it peaked at number 4 on the Billboard 200 and was followed by his second and third albums King Push – Darkest Before Dawn: The Prelude (2015) and Daytona (2018), which peaked at numbers 20 and three on the chart, respectively. His fourth album, It's Almost Dry (2022), became his first to debut atop the Billboard 200. Clipse briefly reunited to self-release their fourth album, Let God Sort Em Out (2025), which peaked at number 4 on the Billboard 200.
West appointed Thornton as president of GOOD Music in 2015, where he remained one of the label's flagship artists until his departure in 2022. Three years later, he parted ways with his remaining label, Def Jam Recordings, due to creative disagreements. In 2020, he launched his record label, Heir Wave Music Group, as a platform for Virginia-based artists. Thornton has won a Grammy Award from 11 nominations.
