So you know, you get to the point where you're like, trying to put this song next to that song and so on and so forth. You know, I made this album thinking - I had a - I got to a point to - it was time to put together the album. MUHAMMAD: But just from the street level of it, it's so pure, man. You always let people know, like, you from the roots. And the spirit of hip-hop, you connect things. MUHAMMAD: Hardcore, dark but - I mean it's just you, really. It was just like a quick one-through listen, but it was definitely dope. MUHAMMAD: I only had a moment with it, so I feel - I can't really speak from from a deeper level. MUHAMMAD: So within that you found the time to put a well-made album together. But you know, it's just - man, this is just what - I don't have a ritual, but I don't do some of the things I used to do, in regards to just obnoxiously out all night drinking. PUSHA T: I just start my day really early. PUSHA T: I wake up super early all the time. KELLEY: Do you have a routine to keep yourself together when you're traveling? Like, if you had to wake up super early or if you have to fly a airline you don't like? So I've been talking about that and trying to make sure that I'm like - I get that handled or whatever the case may be but. PUSHA T: I - but it hasn't been - I haven't been getting it as of late. KELLEY: Did you get that thing, the pre-TSA or whatever? You'll never understand that until you have to do it every day. You'll never understand how much you dislike, you know, TSA. It doesn't sound like it's - it doesn't sound like a hard thing. PUSHA T: And how tedious the travel of it is. I don't know if people can really understand the commitment it takes to spend that amount of time away from home and going from different cities and sharing yourself with people. So you find time within 200 days of - that's a lot of grinding time.

I got two stores, two streetwear stores, at home. MUHAMMAD: Like, what do you do? Go to movies? What do you do on your day off? PUSHA T: Like, I do - you know, I gotta like - certain things I just have to deal with. MUHAMMAD: So people don't understand that - I mean. MUHAMMAD: And that doesn't leave a lot of time to record. I wanted people to get that perspective, cause. How many days within a year you're on the road? So my pattern, my recording pattern, is broken up through that whole touring cycle. So after I drop an album like My Name Is My Name, and I have, like, records with Chris Brown, singles, and, you know, stuff that doesn't get that type of acclaim, I literally have to tour, constantly. I mean, people don't understand, for me, like, I don't get a lot of the radio and things like that. PUSHA T: I would say, on-and-off, two years. MUHAMMAD: How long it take you to record this album? First and foremost, I've been working on music, Darkest Before Dawn, which is dropping December 18th. I mean, last time I was here, it was like - I tell everybody about the interview. MUHAMMAD: - are able to see the artist again.
