BIO

Isaiah Rashad is one of TDE’s most beloved figures. Signed alongside SZA as part of the label’s second generation, the Chattanooga, TN native emerged out of nowhere with his 2014 debut Cilvia Demo, which introduced listeners to his nimble raps, smooth melodies and relatable vulnerabilities. The equally acclaimed The Sun’s Tirade followed in 2016, but self-doubt and substance abuse stalled Zaywop’s promising trajectory and left him broke. Isaiah finally returned in 2021 with arguably his finest release so far, The House Is Burning, which propelled him into the Billboard top 10 for the first time, elevating his status among TDE's star-studded ranks.
