Pusherman

"Pusherman" is a term popularized by Curtis Mayfield’s song, referring to someone who helps move or distribute illegal drugs.

The term highlights the role of these intermediaries in the drug trade, often operating at a street level. It’s used in music, literature, and everyday language to evoke imagery of street-level criminal activity and the systemic issues associated with drug distribution networks.
