I love reading comments on Zays stuff. Yall feel like my people and I recognize their spirit. Love to all of you because we could all use a little. P.s. I love this performance because it shows how personal Zays poetry is. It’s like this is the how the music is meant to be experienced.

[@edub9930]

This is the best comment on KZbin

[@ashleynjagi969]

I can confidently say that this album is one of the most important ones of my life. Ever.

This album really did so much for me. I was in tenth grade bumping this. I’m 25 now and this EP is still a constant part of my rotation throughout the times. Thank you ZayWop for blessing us with these Sonics

[@therealbigballski]

Same age, same time frame for me. Weird looking back at those days, shit was a different lifetime

[@PesterFester1966]

Cult Classic ☝

[@peepininmywindow5170]

God man Isaiah just does not miss. I love this album, I took my daughter to see him as her first show, THIB had just dropped and he was coming through Houston. I'm 40 now. I danced, I cried, I laughed- and she got to see it all. A memory we will forever share, from a rare artist that just does not miss. Ever.

[@aXeL-qr9xs]

HE STARTED W MENTHOL. Favorite track to this day man

[@njper123]

Was in uni, had my first born, and got a job in cold sales door knocking.. this album kept me going as I walked door to door, worried about my next pay check. 10 years later, I’m glad to say Zay, we’ve both progressed - I now manage 2 states for the very manufacturer that I was repping d2d. Bless y’all

[@austinellois1455]

🙏

[@joelandrean8054]

I was probably 12 or 13 when I first found Isaiah Rashad. Its been almost a decade and he never fails to save my life. Much love brudda 🤍

[@adriandeadman2991]

Bro I was in the 8th grade in Algebra class having like some test day I think and they had us sitting in the computer lab and I found this gem on the recommendation. Life changed ever since❤

[@godly_potatoe69xd19]

I’m in 9th grade and I just discovered this mf this so damn good 😭 And none of my friends wanna try it out.

Glad that zay still here to give us this performance! Feel like the emotions of the studio versions are amplified x10 on this, loved every moment!

[@marzfromafar4309]

Nah fr. As a grown man this touched my heart in the best way in a long time. There’s so many memories and emotions tied to that album and songs. So this was very much needed and appreciated 💯

[@PrincD90]

26:00 love the fact that great rappers of this generation, like Isaiah, Tyler the creator, vic mensa, chance the rapper, ab soul are giving flowers and want to make the greatest lyricist in the game Lupe Fiasco proud! 🌹

[@XUPROARX]

Zay 's introduction through "Cilvia Demo" marked a pivotal moment in my musical journey. The first encounter with his artistry took place during a Schoolboy Q concert in Belgium, where he served as the opening act. From that moment on, I became an ardent fan.

[@RoninStyle_]

Your music has not only given salvation, solace, but often an actionable path forward. Your words have carried me for years, Isaiah. I hope you realize how important your music is to a generation Zay... thank you for everything. This set is everything brother.

[@4theculturegaming740]

Had just turned 18 just got kicked out my moms house, bouncing round from hommie to hommies house. Just started blowing trees. I was lost but I was at peace too slapping this shot everyday it’s crazy. Love you zay.

[@KingJ0727]

Man I remember when I down and out this album would be my go too when I would walk from school to the house

[@Noone-pf8ww]

I’ve been listening to this album every week for the past 8 years for my power nap. When I wake up, usually on RIP Kevin Miller, I always feel good and ready to go back to work. Always work, always will, your music is magical.

[@MyiaDAHU3MAN]

Real talk Cilvia Demo got me thru my twenties .I'm thirty now, and so happy to see Zae peforming this at Spotify. Zae this is the reason us Vibers love you and always will.

[@DanielPantojaB]

This was so special. Live instrumentals gave these songs a whole new light and I'm so about it. Zay has been my fav for years now. Since 2016 when TST came out. Good to see him well and cracking jokes.

[@austinellois1455]

💯

[@blobybrian5058]

The instruments on Heavenly father😪😍

[@pointlessNYC]

His music will always do something for me that not many other artists can. I feel like he doesn’t get how important to the culture he is. Gotta see him play one day!!

[@kyia854]

First time I heard this album was in 6th grade.Listened to it damn near everyday walking to school.

[@cozyboy_6199]

Heavenly Father always makes me emotional man….

[@ArKaneAcrumProductions]

Real

[@Ovssound]

When my father died this album was the only thing that gave me comfort at a time when i needed it the most, Thank you isaiah for the art you have given us ❤

[@criskane]

Isaiah Rashad is one of my favorite artists. It's even cooler seeing him perform with OMA, their MF DOOM covers are the best! 😁

[@seanjjpaul]

Can’t wait for a new album!!

[@austinellois1455]

[@sarahguzman5823]

First heard this album my freshman year of highschool 2014 will never forget. I’d be blasting this on my headphones every day 🎧🔥 much love 🫶🏼

Yuppp 2014 freshman year unmatched 🙌🏽

[@griffinwintonmusic]

Man just watching this gave me chills the whole video. It put me back in my 23 year old mindset and alot of memories just came back to me

[@Desnes7]

Yes sirrr was the same age, good times bruh for real. Wanna go back for just a day.

[@ArKaneAcrumProductions]

22 rn n a lot of his music resonating with me rn

[@ladislaorodriguez3512]

I used to listen to this album in high school thinking....I need my college friends to be isaiah rashad fans....boom college starts and i was driving all the way to sacramento to see isaiah with these new friends who i made in college

[@yxngbasq2042]

Bless Zay man. He gonna be performing in heaven when we all get there too. 🐐

[@siversthathird]

I remember just listening to Heavenly Father every day back to back for like a month in a really messed up place and thinking about if I still wanna be here. Eventually, I came to the conclusion that, I gotta find my own purpose for living yo, this ain’t it. It has to be more than blaming God or my father or whoever, I wanna live for me. Thanks for the art as always Zay. This project for the most part, was the soundtrack to me finding a purpose.

[@austinellois1455]

💯

[@ArKaneAcrumProductions]

Love reading the comments on this, especially the ones that talk ab their memories and connections to the album. I love music man.

One of my top 5 favourite artist ever. Really glad that Spotify got him to do this. This is one of the greatest debut records in hip-hop and Rap ever in my opinion. And this record really got me through a lot of dark years.

[@ronross6809]

Y’all ever have something invoke pure nostalgic memories? This is that for me, lot of love for this album

[@yimmyrich]

This album saved me from losing my mind once my little brother died from hiv on my 23rd Birthday.

[@Cat_main_apex]

Saw this live with the same band, I requested Menthol, Isaiah looked at me and said "Wait Imma get you " . Much love brother.

Most impactful album ever on my life. So potent, a true poet. Needed this in 2014

[@SlyFreedyJuliano]

The wayne influence here is crazy!! My favorite tape from Zay

[@smallBaiBi67_8]

Cilvia Demo never failed to keep my smile on my face during highschool years Back then, when we had classics like oxymoron or gkmc but we had the curiosity to explore this unknown part of TDE This unknown project with this minimal brown cover Dropped by this less known young artist that used to talk about life and experiencing our 20s on this lil mixtape called Pieces of a Kid Nobody could ever believe that Cilvia Demo could've changed our lives as Oxymorom or GKMC And, fortunately, we still here Thank you Isaiah, 10 years is only time for an immortal classic like this

[@bkeith9236]

man. i'm just so happy to be born in this era. this is my music. thanks isaiah
