  • Isaiah Rashad - Darkseid - 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.

    For about a decade now TDE has created somewhat of a musical universe where each artist exists on their own unique planet with their distinct styles & cadences but at the same time are still recognizable as a TDE sound. That's very impressive.

      I feel like that TDE 'sound' is just because they lay the bar of overall quality so high.
      The beats, lyrics, themes, there are very little labels that ONLY bring out quality hiphop like TDE does imo.

      @Santon-Motho Před 2 lety +1

      @@WhoGotSoulHere They definitely set a high standard with all parts of the music, I agree, but in addition to that they must have some label people who ensure the sound remains TDE while letting the artist still express themselves as freely as possible.
