Pusha T officially introduced his new Grindin coffee brand to the masses this month with a pop-up experience at Cafe Tropical in Los Angeles.
The coffee brand takes its name from his 2002 Clipse hit, “Grindin’.” The exclusive launch took place at Cafe Tropical on November 16, from 7 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The event also featured merchandise from Carhartt WIP, including T-shirts, crewnecks, hoodies, and totes.
When Push teased Grindin’s pop-up on Instagram, the Virginia-raised rapper said, “All my dreams and ideas start from my passions. Luckily, I have been able to find partnerships and platforms to help bring my visions to life. This is just a piece of me and how I start my day. On November 16, meet me at @cafetropicalsunset to be served … one way or another.”
In the caption of a post shared by Cafe Tropical ahead of the pop-up, the coffee shop told Instagram users to “come through” for the exclusive merch, “a cup of Grindin coffee blend, and the Neighborhood Pusher himself.”
