Chattanooga’s finest Isaiah Rashad has made a triumphant return with the release of his debut LP The Sun’s Tirade. Rashad’s new album will be the follow-up to his Cilvia Demo EP which was released back in 2014.

The LP consists of 17 tracks with features from Rashad’s fellow TDE label mates Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar and SZA. Rashad also recruited Kari Faux, SiR Zacari, Deacon Blues and Syd for features on the highly anticipated project. For production, Mike Will Made IT, Steve Lacy, Cam Obi, Dave Free and a few others were chosen.

Rashad recently revealed to Billboard that his two-year hiatus from music stemmed from his struggles with substance abuse.

“My mom seen me faded,” Rashad told Billboard. “Then, [I struggled with] a lapsing memory. I don’t be remembering a lot of shit between them two years. It’s like gaps in time. So I was like, ‘I don’t really want that no more.’ That was the worst, not remembering shit. There’s a lot of shit I don’t remember.”

Rashad has definitely redeemed himself with the drop of The Sun’s Tirade which is now available on Spotify and iTunes.

Colombian singer, by way of Virginia, Kali Uchis, has returned with a smooth new record featuring The Internet‘s Steve Lacy and Long Beach’s Vince Staples. Montreal producer, Kaytranada arranged this sonic masterpiece as he continues his hot-streak. He’s recently produced for Mick Jenkins, Pusha T, Azaelia Banks as he gears up to release his own project 99.9%.

The groovy record is a back and fourth conversation between males and females as they express feelings that are all too common in relationships, such as when Kali says, “Time and time again I said I would leave you alone.” Steve Lacy’s character on this record spews one of the most typical phrases used when a man reassures his woman of his love for her, “There’s only one girl for me/Baby you know it” and he also uses the number one phrase used by cheaters, “Just give me one more chance/I promise I won’t blow it.” Vince Staples closes out the song by bringing his refreshingly crisp, lemon-lime flow to this already exceptional musical cocktail.

“Only Girl” is Kali Uchis’ first official song release in over a year. Since her Por Vida EP last February, the Latina artist has grown in popularity immensely and it seems about the right time for her to drop another project. It appears as if this record will be the first single off the yet to be announced album, but according to her tweets it’s coming soon.
