Isaiah Rashad

Isaiah Rashad is a rapper from Chattanooga, Tennessee, born in 1991. He started writing poetry as a kid and put out his first mixtape, 'Cilvia Demo,' in 2012. That project got some attention for its moody, personal feel.

His music tends to drift between hip-hop, soul, and jazz, with lyrics that lean inward. Songs like 'Wat's Wrong,' which features Kendrick Lamar, and 'Heavenly Father' show that reflective side over hazy, melodic production.

In 2019, he was arrested on drug charges, which he later talked about as part of a broader period of dealing with depression. He's worked with artists like SZA and Jay Rock, who appears on 'True Story,' but his own recordings have stayed fairly sparse and unhurried.
