Pusha T's sophomore studio album is an exercise in pure craft for everyone involved. The beats sound like money, and the raps are whip smart and cleanly tailored; imagine Tony Montana slipping out of the country scot-free ahead of his career-ending Scarface raid, and you arrive at the cocktail of spite and incredulity fueling Darkest Before Dawn.
