“Diet Coke” is the lead single for Pusha T’s upcoming album, It’s Not Dry Yet. It was first previewed after a snippet surfaced of Push and Kanye West recording a music video. It was later confirmed that Ye was involved in the song after his girlfriend Julia Fox told Interview Magazine that she had gone to a music video shoot for the collaboration. Push later shared a snippet of the song at an afterparty for the KENZO fashion show in Paris, France.
The beat, originally intended to be an interlude for 88-Keys beat tape, The Makings of Crack Cocaine, was produced in 2004, around 18 years before “Diet Coke” was released.
