As a substantial treat to his fans, the 17 full-length tracks here fully douse themselves in Rashad's typecasted Southern dialect, nestling in the corners of Hip-Hop, and the country, as one of the last bastions of true Southern-based Hip-Hop that hasn't gone Trap. Struggling with a serious Xanax addiction, Rashad was almost dropped from the label numerous times, with The Sun's Tirade acting as his official statement to not let go just yet. It's Dave Free, co-president of TDE, the record label Rashad gained his fame through, irritated that the Tennessee native hasn't submitted his album yet. Context is key, as this isn't just an impatient fan caught up in the swirling mixtape age of gimme gimme gimme. The Sun's Tirade, Isaiah Rashad's first album in two and a half years following Cilvia Demo, his first that put him on the map, begins with a spoken word intro from an agitated individual questioning Rashad's whereabouts.
