Earlier in the week, Pusha T announced the release of his forthcoming studio album -- and followup to 2013's excellent My Name Is My Name -- King Push. Furthermore, the new president of Kanye West's G.O.O.D.

A new Future song has been shared, and it's set to appear on the forthcoming Creed film. The song, which is played during the trailer (watch it here), finds Future going full Rocky Balboa -- except he's not running up no damn steps, he's doing push-ups on a stack of money. It's an incredible bit of exhilarating rap music, backed by a sample of Bill Conti's classic Rocky theme song "Gonna Fly Now". In addition, "Last Breath" is produced by frequent collaborator Metro Boomin, and Ludwig Goransson. Check out Future's epic "Last Breath" from the Creed soundtrack after the jump.

After sharing "Fuckin' Up the Count" last month, Indiana's first rate emcee Freddie Gibbs -- returning under the Gangsta Gibbs moniker -- is sharing two new cuts from his forthcoming, highly-anticipated new mixtape, Shadow of a Doubt. The pair of tracks, "Extradite" (featuring Black Thought) and "Packages", showcases Gibbs' rough around the edges sound -- all the way down to the banging, menacing production -- which is a welcome return following his excursions with Madlib on Pinata. Both tracks, along with "Fuckin' Up the Count" will appear on Gibbs' Shadow of a Doubt, arriving November 20th via ESGN. Listen to "Extradite" and "Packages" after the jump.
