Isaiah Rashad’s “IT’S BEEN AWFUL” takes everything that’s ever made his music resonate and refines it into one focused statement!

This is him at his most complete, and it shows in how naturally he blends jazz textures with trap foundations. Nothing feels forced or experimental for the sake of it. It’s natural, deliberate, and sits right where hip-hop is supposed to feel. Everything lands exactly where it should.

“IT’S BEEN AWFUL” feels like Isaiah Rashad finally making the exact album he’s been building toward his entire career.

What really elevates the project is the honesty. He leans fully into his vulnerabilities, opening up about his vices, his relationships, and his family without dressing any of it up. There’s no distance between him and the music here. He says it plainly, and that honesty drives the entire project.

That same level of intention shows up in the production. Every layer is crystal clear, every detail has room to breathe, and nothing competes for space. It lets his voice and writing sit front and center while still creating a full, immersive sound.

There’s a familiarity here that hits in the best way. It carries the same spirit that made “Welcome to the Game” and “Cilvia Demo” connect, but with more control and clarity. It doesn’t chase those projects, it builds on them.

And it doesn’t overstay its welcome. The length is tight, focused, and purposeful. No filler, no wasted space. Just a tight, focused listen from start to finish.

This is Isaiah Rashad fully realized. A complete, intentional, and undeniable album!

@MendezMovieRPT No, but it does show how detached from the rest of the world critics are

You shouldn’t regret your opinion on anything ever, but the consequences can be most will probably think you aren’t the brightest for some of them
