6. Isaiah Rashad – Cilvia Demo
Released: January 28, 2014 ~ Reviewed: February 3, 2014 (Rated 3 out of 5 Stars)
Isaiah Rashad drops an interesting project. If you are a Hip-Hop head you will really appreciate all of the subtle references that Isaiah cleverly implemented into this nice piece of work. If you aren’t a big fan of Hip-Hop you will still find this extremely entertaining due to the energy and obvious hunger this young emcee displays. As stated earlier Isaiah considered living his life as a preacher. With that kind of lifestyle comes quite a bit of thought about some of life’s biggest mysteries. We see him verbalizing quite a bit of those questions on this, and outside of one rough patch on the project, he does it as well as any other artist.
Now he is no Kendrick Lamar, no not at all. Kendrick is often very direct. He often tells stories that have an A-Z format. Isaiah however may start at D, then touch Q, jump to K, before we ever even hear A. Not a bad thing at all though. Imagine how scattered brain Lil’ Wayne use to sound. We all loved it. Now imagine that style with deeper content, and you have Isaiah Rashad. – DuB
