The previously Los Angeles-centered TDE crew’s adoption of a Southern member isn’t so strange. Since they already feel like a modern iteration of the Dungeon Family approach that has seeped into the second-generation Cali gangsta, finding an inverse in Isaiah Rashad makes perfect sense. He’s an OutKast fan from the South who’s also comfortable in the context of a West Coast that gave us Labcabincalifornia and Me Against the World the same year. While his BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher appearance last year was a bit of an advance notice, the abrupt arrival of his voice in full proves at least one thing: Top Dawg has scouts that’d make Billy Beane lose his damn mind.
Rashad’s background draws from a few different sources. While he rode around Chattanooga bumping No Limit classics through the speakers of the ’95 Civic he nicknamed “Cilvia”, he did so knowing that the real scene and all the networking opportunities to advance were some 120 miles down I-75 to Atlanta. His style wound up developing with the outside influence of already known artists, but laced with the personal, true-to-self approach that typically comes from having to impress peers and friends instead of a scene wracked with hypebeasts. And with the development that comes when your subject matter demands introspection from the get-go, Cilvia Demo is as much a revelation as labelmate Kendrick Lamar’s breakthrough Section.80—only this time, there’s also a good kid, m.A.A.d city to look up at and aspire to.
