The Sun’s Tirade was released back in 2016 and boasts appearances from Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Jay Rock and The Internet’s Syd, among others.
It served as Zaywop’s debut studio album and second release on TDE following 2014’s Cilvia Demo. His sophomore LP The House is Burning arrived in 2021 following a five-year gap, during which he experienced financial problems and had a stint in rehab for alcohol addiction.
While fans are hoping for The Sun’s Tirade to make a swift return to streaming services, they have a new Isaiah Rashad album to look forward to.
Earlier this month, the “Free Lunch” MC gave a promising update on his next project, revealing that he’s close to finishing it and is “really proud” of how it’s taking shape.

Zaywop previously confirmed earlier this year that he was working on his fourth album, saying during a show in Dallas: “I might change the title of it but I’m working on my fourth project.”
