Isaiah Rashad spoke with Life + Times to decode “Tranquility,” a song off of his EP, Cilvia Demo. While most lyrics merely harp on how hard it is growing up in an impoverished street life, Isaiah cleverly speaks on “co-existing within the peace and bullshit, the good and the bad.” “All my purposes in my verses, be in the first line,” he begins as he breaks down the song that helped him find peace with knowing that sometimes you just aren’t able to change what happens within the world. He also speaks on being consciously aware that he wasn’t just another person that was oblivious to the effect his lyrics have on people in his personal life. Watch Isaiah decode “Tranquility” below.
