Isaiah Rashad's "The House Is Burning" Debuts at #7 on Billboard's 200 Chart
Isaiah Rashad doesn’t look back. Instead, he never stops moving forward. That’s why the internet has tried so hard to keep up since the Chattanooga, TN-born and Los Angeles-based artist emerged in 2012. After one seismic appearance after another throughout 2013, he formally introduced himself with 2014’s Cilvia Demo.

In between sold-out shows coast-to-coast and racking up nearly 500 million total streams, he quietly stared down his demons out of the spotlight. By the time he dove back into music, life had changed. The process switched up, so he realigned and linked up with new collaborators. Ready to break a five-year creative silence, he returns with his album The House Is Burning.
The House Is Burning marks Rashad's return to the spotlight to widespread, feverish excitement after 5 years boasting a cast of all-star appearances from SZA, Jay Rock, 6LACK, Smino, Kenny Beats, and more. Upon release, it debuted at #7 on Billboard's 200 chart in its first week, landed the #1 album spot on Apple Music with inclusion in 25 music playlists on the platform including Rap Life as well as 18 Spotify Playlists including New Music Friday and Rap Caviar. The album has already amassed more than 60 million streams across all digital streaming platforms.
Today Rashad unveils a hypnotic new video for the explosive Kal Bane-produced track “From The Garden” featuring Lil Uzi Vert. The black and white visual, directed by Omar Jones, comprising aerial shots and kaleidoscopic effects is an artful representation of Rashad’s high-level visual narrative depicted by previous videos “Lay Wit Ya” feat. Duke Deuce, “Headshots (4r da Locals), and “Wat U Sed” feat. Doechii and Kal Banx.
