Ever since @DKC recommended him to me I've been in love with Isaiah's music, TDE around this time was unstoppable but I find his some of the easiest out of the label to replay consistently. (proof he's my third most listened to artist lol):
View attachment 40415

Love the beats, flows, features (Especially SZA, ScHoolboy and, Jay Rock), hooks and lyrics on most of the songs. I would say my favorite songs are Webbie Flow, Ronnie Drake, West Savannah, Soliloquy, Heavenly Father, and Shot You Down. West Savannah, Heavenly Father, and Ronnie Drake has some of my favorite substantive lyrics on the record by far. Idk what wavelength him and SZA are on but they make incredible songs together as well.

Even if I think a song like Brad Jordan feels like it's there for padding I still really enjoy it and at the least like basically every song on the record.

(Don't need my score fed into the average, seems a bit unfair since I already came into this loving it) It's like a 9/10 for me personally. Probably would be lower if I hadn't had as much time as I've had with it for everything to grow on me.

Always happy to help create another Isaiah Rashad fan. One of my fav albums ever

also good timing I just got out of the Cilvia Demo 10th anniversary show

Side note at the show Zay said his fav song on the album is Menthol which is also mine so I feel vindicated lol

Okay just finished listening!

Standouts: Cilvia Demo, Soliloquy, Ronnie Drake, West Savannah, Menthol, Modest
Skips: none really
Score: 8/10
Final Thoughts: love how the album opens.. 'my daddy taught me how to drink my pain away'. Then the second song he starts showing he can rap. There's a nice mix of solo songs where he's rapping and doing the hooks himself, and having features. SZA obviously kills it on both songs (though WS is something else) but I have to give credit to Jean Deaux for her feature on Menthol. Love her voice. Also the diversity is very good, think there's something on here for both fans of oldschool rap and more 'modern' stuff especially production wise. Soliloquy f---ing slapss!

Great pick @jankland gonna find a download link for at least half of these to add 2 my playlist!

d---, Cilvia Demo by Isaiah Rashad is a great album. There’s really no skips for me. Isaiah does a great job of balancing multisyllabic rhyming, singing, and storytelling along with these chill, atmospheric beats. I could even see myself making music like this.

I love all the songs, but that 3 song stretch from R.I.P. Kevin Miller to West Savannah is by far the best part of the album to me. Heavenly Father and Brad Jordan are also standouts. Overall West Savannah is the best song on the album though, I can see myself going on many car rides with the windows down to that song.

Despite the smoothness of this album, Isaiah touches on some topics that I appreciate and some of which I relate to. The line on West Savannah “at least we fell in love with something greater than debating suicide” is a line I definitely needed to hear right now. It perfectly fits my situation.

Not only does Isaiah touch on relationships and depression/suicide, but he also speaks on how that comes from the experience of being a black man. There are many great lyrics about the black struggle on this album, particularly with police, daddy issues, etc. That whole second verse of Ronnie Drake is amazing and really sums it up especially with the first line “hope they don’t k--- you cause you black today”.

I pretty much have no issues with this album. I guess my only nitpicks are that I’m not the biggest fan of the beat on Webbie Flow although that’s still a good song. Shot You Down had a dope beat and dope verses from everyone but at the same time I felt it kinda dragged and went on too long.

SCORE: 9/10

Yeah I know my pick already as well.

@Justin Trudeau can you tag everyone when a new week goes live please? Knowing how sporadic I am with activity I'll need a noti nudge when a new one is live.

OP should probably be updated as well.

I grew up in Philly, and hip hop’s got that same gritty, real feelin'. It’s about the streets, the fights, and the heart. We might be from different worlds, but we all got battles to fight.

If people don't like your album don't be offended, it's okay to defend the album but we won't need to turn the forum into a zebedee vs big monkey argument.

I already have my pick & I’m going to war if anyone s----s on it. What makes it funnier is it has the word Zebedee in the lyrics on the album.

I'm excited for this s--- ngl, looking forward to some obscure bs I've never heard before and finding new artists
Click to expand...

I'm tryna not to scare people away on a first pick lmfao

I was thinking of Cilvia Demo by Isaiah Rashad or The Sufferer & The Witness by Rise Against (whichever the least amount of people have heard) as simple picks that are personal favorite, somewhat accessible albums of mine in rap and rock respectively.

Idk if I should dive into the deep end with modern disco or country or screamo s--- just yet lmfao
