Like all other billy woods projects, Today I Wrote NothingР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В has an incredible amount of depth and requires multiple listens to unravel just what exactly woods is meaning to say. The brevity of the songs and the broadness of themes, and woodsР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС› fleeting but vivid imagery can make this album feel incohesive, but the common thread binding the 24 tracks on Today I Wrote NothingР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В is woodsР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС› conversational rapping style and scalding wit.

Where most of billy woodsР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС› other albums are lengthy explorations of consistent themes, Today I Wrote NothingР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В is comprised of short stories and vignettes that thematically leap back and forth, on songs that are mostly short: 2 minutes on average. But short as King Push Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™ Darkest Before Dawn: The PreludeР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В may be: all 10 tracks hit Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™ this is one of the best Hip Hop releases of 2015. The only disappointment would be the fact that it is too short at 33 minutes.

The production is stellar, and lyrically Pusha T is om point. This album served as kind of a prelude for PushaР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s third solo album, Daytona (originally titled King Push), which was released in 2018, but it is much more than just a Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р вЂ™Р’ВpreludeР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›.

King Push Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™ Darkest Before Dawn: The PreludeР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В manages to sound entirely cohesive, even if there was a busload of different producers involved, some big names too: Puff Daddy, Steven Victor, Baauer, Deafh Beats, Boi-1da, Donald Davidson, Frank Dukes, G Koop, Honorable C.N.O.T.E., Hudson Mohawke, J. Pusha T is a great rapper, but itР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s the beats that steal the show on this album. This short and tight 10-track album fires on all cylinders.
