With 17 tracks spanning just over an hour, The Sun’s Tirade is a gorgeous, heart-wrenching affirmation of Rashad’s undeniably elite talent.Īfter a message from TDE President Dave Free on the album’s introductory track, “where u at?”, Rashad utilizes his effortlessly soulful croon to create a vividly transparent portrait of maturation and addiction on “4r Da Squaw”: “Found a message in my bottle, your son is coming up/ Ba-da-bip-ba-ip-ba-boo/ Yeah I was sayin’ you ain’t nothin’ but a baby your fear is growin’ up/ Listen here, I say my dude and what you call it, it was heaven at the bottom and peace from throwin’ up.” Then, in 2014, Rashad dropped his debut EP, Cilvia Demo - and those of us who listened were suddenly like, “Oh, yeah, this makes a lot of sense, and I am a big, stupid idiot for ever doubting the omnipotent knowledge of the Top Dawg higher-ups.” Cilvia Demo was painful and beautiful, enchanting and haunting, and quickly established Isaiah Rashad as one of rap’s premier, up-and-coming talents.įast-forward to 2016, zooming past the post- Cilvia Demo ultra-funk where Rashad found himself abusing Xanax and alcohol to the tune of a torn stomach lining and was nearly dropped from his label on three different occasions, and Chattanooga’s own is finally here with his studio album debut: The Sun’s Tirade.
