Pusha T‘s long-awaited third studio album is set to arrive this Thursday at midnight Eastern, as we reported earlier this week, but it apparently won’t be titled King Push.
This morning, Scott Vener, a veteran music supervisor and co-host of Apple Music’s OTHERtone program with Pharrell Williams, tweeted a screenshot of the album’s advance stream, with the title now reading DAYTONA.
Good mornin. Today’s flex, I’ll be driving around to this all day. Can I post snippets on my story? @PUSHA_T @StevenVictor pic.twitter.com/XWVQUWjuwT

We have reached out Pusha T’s record label, Def Jam, for confirmation and further details.
In related news, earlier today, DJBooth published a lost interview with Pusha T from 2008.
Update: Pusha jumped on Twitter to explain the title change and the lack of artwork:
I changed the album title from “King Push” to “DAYTONA” because I felt it didn’t represent the overall message of this body of work.
“DAYTONA” represents the fact that I have the luxury of time. That luxury only comes when u have a skill set that your confident in.

This album is for my family…high taste level, luxury, drug raps fans. Literally this is nothing more than the outcome of our musical therapy sessions.

This is all happening in real time, you don’t have my art work because i don’t have my art work…the final master was turned in 2 hrs ago, no single (what are those?), I’m not interested in any of that…
