While Reason has proven himself to be one of Top Dawg Entertainment's secret weapons, liable to snap whenever called upon, it would appear he's opted to give his upcoming major-label debut the Joyner Lucas treatment. Which is to say, staggering singles like "Show Stop," "Flick It Up" with Ab-Soul, "Trapped In" with Boogie and Soulo once more, "I Might Not Make It," and "Pop Shit" with ScHoolboy Q. Now, it would appear he's readying another big drop, this time teasing some new music with J.I.D. and Isaiah Rashad.
To be fair, he really only said three words: "Reaz, Zay, JID." But if that's not a tease for an upcoming single, what the hell is? Clearly, the fans want the music at this point, and it doesn't help that both Rashad and J.I.D. have been keeping their respective vaults relatively guarded. When one particularly fiendish follower demanded the single by the end of the day, Reason promised that the wait would not be a long one. While that remains to be seen, the combination of emcees all but guarantees that something glorious will emerge as a result.
True, the wait for Reason's big TDE release has been on the lengthier side, but damned if it hasn't led to some quality drops along the way. Add another one to the pile, and sound off below -- are you excited to see what Reason, J.I.D, and the ever-elusive Isaiah Rashad have cooked up?
Isaiah Rashad Previews New Music Off "House Is Burning" Album
Isaiah Rashad references Doja Cat on unreleased song from his sophomore album, “The House Is Burning”.
Every now and then you’ll be going about your day, minding your business, when the thought strikes you: “Where in the world is Isaiah Rashad?” It’s a rhetorical question, really, because Isaiah Rashad lays low. While social media allows fans to keep tabs on their favorite artists, Rashad operates off the grid. Honestly, this arrangement is probably better for both him and the fans. Whenever new music from him arrives, the anticipation will be at a peak after having fully digested 2016’s The Sun’s Tirade.
Aside from a few stray tweets, the TDE rapper isn’t very active on social media. Therefore, not much is known about his forthcoming sophomore project, The House Is Burning. He announced this title on IG Live last year, but there’s a chance Rashad has changed his mind in the interim. Every now and then, he will tease unreleased music. On Monday night (Mar. 9), he went on Live from the studio and previewed a track that had his whole crew bopping. “Told her, bitch, eat it like Doja Cat” is one bar that jumps out from the mellow joint. Some songs off The House Is Burning were also played at Reason’s listening party about a week ago.
While TDE keeps their roster’s release rotation a secret, it would make sense if Rashad was next at bat. However, he isn’t inspiring much confidence in this likelihood. When a fan asked him on Twitter to at least drop a single, he replied, “picking it soon or something… emphasis on the something.”
