Wrath of Caine is the second mixtape by American rapper Pusha T, released on January 28, 2013 under GOOD Music and Re-Up Records. The mixtape features guest appearances from Rick Ross, French Montana, Popcaan, Travis Scott, Troy Ave, Kevin Gates, Andrea Martin and Wale. Production varies from Kanye West, Young Chop, Jake One and The Neptunes, among others.
Wrath of Caine was released via mixtape distribution site LiveMixtapes and was also made available for free digital download on DatPiff, accumulating 75,000 after its unveiling. The eleven-track mixtape was highly anticipated since it was announced. It served as promotion leading up to the release of Pusha T's debut studio album My Name Is My Name (2013).
On November 11, 2012, Pusha T announced he would be releasing a mixtape titled "Wrath of Caine". The mixtape was originally expected to have been released at the end of 2012. On January 15, 2013, the cover art for "Wrath of Caine" was released. On January 17, 2013, the trailer for "Wrath of Caine" was released. On January 24, 2013, during an interview with Miss Info the Clipse member said Wrath of Caine is a collection of lyrically-driven street anthems, comparable to the music he recorded with his brother and Clipse cohort No Malice, saying:
"Wrath of Caine is basically just me catering to my core. It's all about just street Hip Hop, street music. It's just something that I like to do. It's something that I feel like has no boundaries, no parameters. I can do what I really, really want to do…[my approach to the mixtape is] not about more of a creative [decision], I just think it's about more of what I want to hear for myself and what my fans want to hear. They want to hear lyrics, they want to hear street [music]…it's just the whole street life perspective."
