Isaiah Rashad returns with The House Is Burning, a mesmerizing album full of emotional raps, dream-like production, and guest appearances from Jay Worthy, Lil Uzi Vert, SZA, Duke Deuce, 6LACK, Smino, and more. Its been over five years since the release of his critically acclaimed album The Suns Tirade, but this new record reaffirms Rashads status as one of raps most gifted storytellers. The project is varied and diverse, showcasing Rashads comfort in a host of different themes and moods. He veers between reflective and braggadocious as he unpacks troubling thoughts and ephemeral thrills over soundscapes from Kal Banx, Hollywood Cole, Kenny Beats, and more. On standout From the Garden, Rashad flaunts an intricate flow as he trades quick-fire flexes with Lil Uzi Vert, making for a song that begs to be shouted. The single Headshots (4r Da Locals), by contrast, finds Rashad in an introspective space, murmuring as he reflects on battles with addiction and past trauma. Other tracks, like Wat U Sed offer up dazed croons and low-key bounce. Each song is distinct from the last, forming a vibrant tapestry of sounds. The range speaks to the breadth of his experienceall the lessons learned and life lived in the five years between The Suns Tirade and The House Is Burning. Sifting through his psyche and further refining his raps, Rashads latest represents a new peak for the gifted artist. This album was difficult, he says. Music is where I go to express myself. Its what I do to close a chapter. You know whats crazy? Im not even ashamed to say it, I really think my albums arent different from each other. Its just me every time and eventually, one of my albums will become a classic.
