Just finished my #firstlisten of Isaiah Rashad's The Sun's Tirade, an amazing, lowkey, vibey, yet introspective album with stunning highlights like Wat's Wrong, Free Lunch, 4r Da Squaw, Silkk da Shocka, and Find a Topic (homies begged).

Last night, yet another person died on Rikers Island — the fifth New Yorker to lose their life in City custody within the last two weeks and the 13th this year.
These deaths are a result of Eric Adams' failure to reckon with the crisis of violence and neglect in our jails.
