The wait is over for TDE fans. **Isaiah Rashad** has officially returned, dropping his third studio album, *It's Been Awful*, his first full-length project since 2021's *The House Is Burning*. Released on May 1, the 16-track project is exactly what fans have been craving: a deeply introspective, incredibly produced journey through Zay's mind. The album features a star-studded lineup including labelmate **SZA** on the standout track "Boy In Red," as well as appearances from **Dominic Fike** and Julian Sintonia. The rollout was executed perfectly, starting with an intense trailer in April and heavy support from TDE heavyweights like ScHoolboy Q and Doechii. Rashad celebrated the release with a sold-out show in Los Angeles where tickets vanished in minutes. Early reactions are overwhelmingly positive. Fans are praising the "super vibey" atmosphere and calling it the perfect culmination of his previous work. With music videos for "Same Sh*t" and "Boy In Red" already making waves, *It's Been Awful* is cementing Isaiah Rashad's status as one of the most consistent and vital voices in modern hip-hop.
