HHW Review: Isaiah Rashad Embraces The Towering Arc Of His Artistic Journey On ‘The House Is Burning’
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jerritt Clark / Getty Isaiah Rashad has always shown reverence for his fellow artists from the south and that fact is reflected in some of his song titles dating back to his 2014 studio album debut, the excellent Clivia Demo. The Chattanooga rapper has taken care to release his third album in seven years in The House Is Burning and while the wait was more than worth it, it may have been absolutely necessary. Seven years is several lifetimes in Hip-Hop considering the rapid-fire nature of music releases in the modern era. Few artists can wait five months, much less five years between releasing projects or studio albums, but then, Zay shouldn’t be compared to his peers as he’s part of a machine that doesn’t waste moments when they actually come to fruition....

The North Carolina rapper found himself in the midst of heavy backlash after viral video emerged of him making a homophobic rant during his set at the Rolling Loud festival in Miami on July 25th. After notable musicians such as Questlove and Sir Elton John took him to task, he made a lackluster apology via social media. After that faltered, representatives for DaBaby reached out to seven music festivals that he was scheduled to appear at on July 28th. They assured the promoters at each festival, wi...
