Pusha T Releasing New Album Darkest Before Dawnin December
King Push is coming out this spring
By Jazz Monroe on November 23, 2015 at 6:06 p.m. EST

Pusha T recently teased some details about what we all thought was going to be his next album, King Push. As Noisey reports, however, on December 18, he'll release a new album titled Darkest Before Dawn. King Push is out this spring.

According to Noisey, Pusha says that Darkest will feature production from Kanye West, Puff Daddy, Timbaland, Baauer, Q-Tip, and Nashiem Myrick.

Pusha told Noisey:

I’ve been recording so much—I didn’t want to break up that body of work, I feel like I had the producers doing things that they weren’t usually known for, 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.

Update (11/24, 4:16 p.m.): In a press release, Pusha confirmed that Darkest features collaborations with Kanye West, A$AP Rocky, The-Dream, Jill Scott, Kehlani, and Beanie Sigel. It also features production from Kanye, Hudson Mohawke, Pharrell, Q-Tip, Timbaland, and Diddy.

The album also has a release date: December 18.

Pusha previously shared "Untouchable". Listen below:

"If you steal something, that's just corny. If you steal something and you steal it contractually, that's like the lowest form of a thief. It's like a cat burglar. It's not even respectable in no way, shape, or form," said the Darkest Before Dawn rapper, before adding, "I ain't respected Baby for a long time no way, so it don't matter."

Just released the lyrics to CCC

Pusha T – CCC

[Verse 1: Pusha T]
Crutches, crosses, caskets
Crutches, crosses, caskets
All I see is victims
My young nikkas sic' ‘em
I don’t get ‘em
I just get back their jewelry if I’m fukkin’ with ‘em
Your man crush Mondays be ownin’ nikkas
My skin is triple black, I’m the omen
You can’t kill a God like the Romans
Take my time to craft shyt
‘Cause I don’t like back and forths with Puff about rap shyt

[Verse 2: Pusha T]
Crutches, crosses, caskets
Crutches, crosses, caskets
All I see is victims
Rappers is victimized at an all-time high
But not I, you pop nikkas thought I let it fly
I’m Yasiel Puig, I’m in another league
I defected, only thing we have in common, nikkas bleed
In ya thousand dollar joggers as you rhyme about ya dollars
I there shame when a platinum rapper’s mother lives in squalor?
Mildred’s in the Bahamas for the month
She’s probably sitting in her pajamas having lunch
Swordfish, my reality is more fish
Banana clips for all you Curious Georges
Old nikkas slapping young nikkas
Ha Imagine that, where you from nikka?

[Verse 3: Pusha T]
Crutches, crosses, caskets
Crutches, crosses, caskets
All I see is death by the masses
The only asterisk is the change of address
My infinity pool as long as Magic’s
Yeah I let Zillow change my pillows
The home is so inviting, the Porsche is the armadillo
The silhouette
The pop, pop, pop; the chop, chop, chop
The throwaway tech got Tourettes
It’s more than this drug money, I love money
I speak to your soul and that’s above money
This the ministry of street energy
The church of criminology, teaching my chemistries
Woo I’m the L. Ron Hubbard of the cupboard
To some certain motherfukkers gotta love it

[Outro]
Crutches, crosses, caskets
Crutches, crosses, caskets
All I see is victims
Crutches, crosses, caskets
Crutches, crosses, caskets
All I see is victims
