Daytona (stylized in all caps) is the third studio album by American rapper Pusha T. It was released on May 25, 2018, by GOOD Music and Def Jam Recordings.
The album features guest appearances from Rick Ross and Kanye West, and uncredited additional vocals by Tony Williams and 070 Shake.
[14] The album contained ten unique samples across its seven tracks, making it the most-sample dense project to come out of the Wyoming Sessions.
[15] Songs recorded for the album include "Sociopath" featuring guest vocals from Kanye West and Kash Doll.
"Sociopath" leaked in April 2019 and was later officially released as a single in August 2019, along with "Coming Home", which features Lauryn Hill, which was also rumoured to be intended for Daytona.
[25] Four days later, Pusha T responded with his own song titled "The Story of Adidon" which alleges that Drake is secretly the father of a porn star's child.
[38] Ben Beaumont-Thomas of The Guardian stated that "Each track is an elocution lesson, his bars enunciated with the almost pedantic menace of a bad cop explaining what he plans to do to you", describing the lyricism as "crisply brilliant drug poetry" and commending the production.
[34] Yoh Phillips of DJBooth wrote that Daytona "puts on display a maximized portrait of potent potential realized.
Club expressed that Daytona is "an absolute masterpiece of minimalism", complimenting both the album's production and lyricism.
[42] Online hip hop publication HipHopDX wrote that Daytona provides "a fitting backdrop for some of the most grim, relentlessly murderous raps Pusha has ever rhymed", also crediting West's production and the album's run time.
