Daytona
by Pusha T

Short album but every second is well used. Amazing production and Push's best songwriting to date.

Every track is solid. The features slot in smoothly. It’s a mixtape more than an LP for sure. No real cohesion between tracks.

Such a tight album. Great production and sharp verses delivered in Push's trademark flow. What more do you need?

Probably the best rap album of the year.

Never been a west fan but he's done a fine job here. Very enjoyable. Mind you, west still sounds wft awful on the mic as his verse shows. However good it is, it's not an album is it? It's an EP.

Easily Pusha T's best album, as well as one of the best instances of production on the part of Kanye West. The short run time allows for increased focus on the bars and concepts Push is trying to convey. Daytone is unbelievably relistenable and arguably the best album (out of any genre) from 2018.

First, Pusha T is one of my favorite rappers of all time. Half of the famous Clipse duo he formed with his brother since the 1990s, Terrence Thornton aka Pusha T, had left the listeners in suspense after the release in 2015 of "King Push: The Prelude". Everyone was waiting for the release of "King Push". Then comes Kanye West, the genius, creator of the GOOD Music label, recovering a few months ago the new solo project of Pusha and renamed it "DAYTONA". Three years for 7 excellent tracks with great productions from West. Former dealer, Pusha T maintains an ambiguous relationship with drugs, essential subject of his lyrics for twenty years now. The cover is thus doubled with a disorder, as the testimony of the raw drug ravage on the African-American community, which will not spare Whitney Houston. What can 7 tracks tell us? An often symbolic figure, which offer us a condensed of Pusha's best style. One of the best hip-hop albums of the decade, surely the best thing from Pusha since Clipse.

9/10

Best track: "If You Know You Know"

Overall: 8.8

Top Tracks: "If You Know You Know", "The Games We Play", "Come Back Baby"

Lyrically the best of Kanye's 2018 albums, but the beats are mostly good but not great in my opinion.

I love the instrumentals and the production on this album, Pusha-T's rapping is pretty good and his lyricism is interesting and fun to listen to

I really like Kanye's new thing with 7 songs per album because it helps the quality of albums like Daytona really stand out when they aren't full of filler and can be listened to in 20 minutes. I haven't heard too much Pusha but I reallyy like this album and I love Kanye's production.

Favourite tracks: If You Know You Know, The Games We Play
