Isaiah Rashad - RIP Young (Live Session) | Vevo Ctrl

Isaiah Rashad - RIP Young - Live Session | Vevo Ctrl
Hand in the pocket. Eyes adrift behind a pair of academic frames. If you only knew Isaiah Rashad from these Ctrl performances of “Darkseid” and “RIP Young,” you could be fooled into thinking he has breezed through life. Public troubles with drugs and alcohol, however, have plagued the gifted Chattanooga rhymer’s career since inception. It’s the reason for the infamous TDE executive rant at the beginning of his acclaimed ‘The Sun’s Tirade,’ released five years ago. It’s also the reason his new album, ‘The House Is Burning,’ feels so triumphant. Rashad is a known curator and purveyor of OG southern rap; the ultra-smooth “RIP Young” samples Memphis legend Project Pat. On this TDE release, Zay’s fierce hush turns out to work well in another genre: R&B, a lane he successfully swerves into through the course of the record. “Darkseid" is the name of a powerful comic book bad guy. In it he sums up the struggles of post-rehab rap fame: “What am I supposed to do outside but get rich?/Work too hard, but boy, don’t floss too hard.” It's a great reminder: the best stories are when the villain becomes the good guy.

Still crazy that he said on Twitter that he was initially worried his fans wouldn't like this song and it ends up being the best song on the album imo

This one has the most unique zay vibes obviously his fans are gonna love it. Sad he feels that way, man doesn’t know how loved he is

[@bpswank429]

He got that raspy voice , might be from all the wood he been swallowing

[@George-nt9ku]

This song for me personally encapsulates everything that is so great about Isaiah. His effortless delivery, how he embodies the literal definition of flow, his tone, pitch and cadence perfectly matching the vibe of the beat, the rhyme schemes adding to the composition itself to give it an extra edge. When he wants to be, the man is a master of seamlessly riding what can only be described as the wave of a song and using his voice as an instrument just as much as a means of storytelling.

[@roommaterico]

top tier instrumental and the pockets zay hits are just different

[@used2brhemberg]

Love how every song on the album just keeps getting better with time and every listen and it already was amazing from the start
