Pusha T Reveals New Album 'DAYTONA' Will Feature Kanye West and Rick Ross

Pusha: "I changed the album title from 'King Push' [...] because I felt it didn’t represent the overall message of this body of work."

King Push is no more.

Just days before he unleashes his third studio album, Pusha T confirmed the highly anticipated project will be called DAYTONA. The G.O.O.D. Music president revealed this detail via Twitter on Wednesday, shortly after Beats 1 host and music supervisor Scott Vener shared a screenshot of the album’s advance stream.

Artist: PUSHA-T
Album Title: DAYTONA
Release Date: 5/25

Pusha said he decided to change the name from King Push (a project he’s been teasing since late 2014) to DAYTONA because he believed the former title wasn’t reflective of the album’s general message.

“’DAYTONA’ represents the fact that I have the luxury of time. That luxury only comes when u have a skill set that your confident in,” he tweeted.

Pusha went on to say that the upcoming album was “for my family...high taste level, luxury, drug raps fans.”

I changed the album title from “King Push” to “DAYTONA” because I felt it didn’t represent the overall message of this body of work.

I don’t have something to say to you everyday, nevertheless create a song abt, this music comes from a real place every time...

This album is for my family...high taste level, luxury, drug raps fans. Literally this is nothing more than the outcome of our musical therapy sessions.

Considering DAYTONA will arrive in less than 48 hours, many fans have wondered why they have yet to receive any major details about the project. It wasn't until Wednesday afternoon that his team confirmed the album's official tracklist, which Kanye West previously revealed on Twitter.

DAYTONA tracklist:
1. If You Know You Know
2. The Games We Play
3. Hard Piano f/ Rick Ross
4. Come Back Baby
5. Santeria
6. What Would Meek Do? f/ Kanye West
7. Infrared

Fans have not heard any promotional singles nor have they seen DAYTONA’s cover art. Pusha also addressed this in his series of tweets:

This is all happening in real time, you don’t have my art work because i don’t have my art work...the final master was turned in 2 hrs ago, no single (what are those?), I’m not interested in any of that...

— King Push (@PUSHA_T) May 23, 2018

The fact that the final master was submitted only a few hours ago may seem like there was a rush to the deadline, but the Bronx-bred rapper doesn’t appear to be the slightest bit worried. In fact, he seems pretty confident in the work he and 'Ye have done.

Ye, we’ve really outdone ourselves...thank you. #DAYTONA

DAYTONA is set to drop this Friday. Pusha T also shared plans to release a vinyl edition of the album, as well as clothing items that more than likely includes quotes from DAYTONA. You can cop here.
