Pusha T - It's Almost Dry Mixtape

What does a rapper do after they release one of the most critically acclaimed hip hop albums of the year? If you're Pusha T, you take some time off to recover and then get back in the studio to start working on your next album. That's exactly what the G.O.O.D Music artist did, and on September 8, 2017, he released his second solo album, "It's Almost Dry.” In my honest opinion, Pusha T's album is one of the most lyrically dope projects I've ever heard. The beats are also incredibly well crafted and complement his flow and lyrics perfectly. However, I thought I might take a stab at it and put the CassBeats Flavor on it. 


If you're a fan of Hip Hop music, you definitely need to check this album out! With that being said, I'm giving it 5/5 stars! The album has already been met with critical acclaim from music writers and listeners alike, but does it live up to the hype? Let's take a closer look.


Here’s a snippet from Matthew Baileys 7/10 Review on Legallyblack.com


“The grime is certainly felt on the following track “Just so you remember”, where Pusha’s cold-blooded vocals sound FANTASTIC over Cassbeats’ mellow, vibraphone-supported instrumental. Interestingly, the Colonel Bagshot samples from the song “Six Day War” are left on this remix, but they exhibit this strange, ghostly presence, as if one is recalling some verbal warning from the past. We get a similar instance of this on the penultimate track “Dreaming of the past”, where Kanye’s soulful production is swapped (at least his closing verse isn’t removed) with an ethereal and appropriately dreamy instrumental. Even the Donny Hathaway sample and Pusha’s sung chorus fit within Cassbeats’ psychedelic soundscape, albeit in a haunting fashion.”
