Pusha T's set to release a new album before the end of the year

After teasing a new album for bloody ages, Pusha T has announced that he’s actually set to do a double, with ‘Darkest Before Dawn’ due out next month and the long-awaited ‘King Push’ out early next year.

Speaking to Noisey, he confirmed the two records, stating in reference to ‘King Push’, “I’ve been recording so much—I didn’t want to break up that body of work,” which is fair enough. “I feel like I had the producers doing things that they weren’t usually known for,” he continued, “a little out of their wheelhouse. I wanted to give the fans that body of work. That’s the music I love, and that’s the music that my fans love from me. Instead of having those moments throughout ‘King Push’, let’s just separate the game.”

Kanye West, Puff Daddy, Timbaland, Q-Tip and Baauer are all set to produce on the record. Before that, though ‘Darkest Before Dawn’ is set to be a ‘prelude’ to ‘King Push - that’s out December 18th. Catch up with the ‘Untouchable’ video below.
