With fourth solo album {|It's Almost Dry|}, {|Pusha T|} does what he does best -- deliver larger than life storytelling rhymes about drug dealing and street struggles -- only bigger, better, and more polished to perfection than before. Produced in full by {|Kanye West|} and {|Pharrell Williams|}, the beats, sampling style, and arrangement choices of the producers become as elemental to the listening experience as {|Pusha T|}'s razor-sharp bars. Upgrading significantly from 2018's brief and scattered-feeling {|Daytona|}, {|It's Almost Dry|} finds {|Pusha T|} in the role of the cool, collected, bulletproof rapper, and {|Kanye|}-produced tracks like Dreamin' of the Past and Rock N' Roll (both of which he contributes verses to as a featured artist) harken back to his distinctive and sample-heavy style pre-{|My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy|}, reshaping other artist's tunes into his own snarling creations. {|Williams|}' knack for spacious but compelling instrumentals make for other highlights, such as the creeping, minimal Scrape It Off featuring {|Lil Uzi Vert|} and {|Don Toliver|}, and the simmering, synth-heavy Neck & Wrist, which features front and center vocal cameos from {|JAY-Z|} and {|Williams|} himself. ~ TiVo Staff
