Finally, the follow-up to the excellent King Push - Darkest Before the Dawn: Prelude from 2016. Originally, this was supposed to be titled King Push, but I guess Pusha and Ye scrapped that title (and also payed $85,000 for that photo of Whitney Houston's bathroom!!). Length-wise, this is more of an EP than studio album, but oddly that's what it's being sold as. Everything about this EP is great: Kanye did an excellent job on production, Pusha T is still an excellent rapper and a talented lyricist, the features do their part well. This album sounds like luxury rap, yet it also sounds like whatever was going on in Whitney Houston's bathroom when that photo was taken. My biggest issue with it is the length, undoubtedly. There isn't a bad song on here so I'm definitely left craving more. I don't know why Kanye is going in this direction for album lengths since he did mention that his new studio album (coming next week) will also be 7 songs long. Maybe it's to keep fans hungry. Who knows?
Track list:
1. If You Know You Know
2. The Games We Play
3. Hard Piano (feat. Rick Ross)
4. Come Back Baby
5. Santeria
6. What Would Meek Do? (feat. Kanye West)

Now the tears dry and the pain takes over
