Fans were left in shock when Isaiah Rashad’s acclaimed album, The Sun’s Tirade, suddenly disappeared from streaming services.
On October 29, without any prior notice, the album was removed from major platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, and TIDAL. Fans of the Tennessee rapper were quick to express their confusion and frustration online.
The removal left only the single version of “Free Lunch” available for anxious listeners. While Isaiah Rashad and Top Dawg Entertainment, his label, remained silent, fans took to social media demanding answers.
The rapper posted a cryptic message on X, formerly Twitter, saying, “beefin wit yaself is ugh lol,” adding to the mystery.
Fans swarmed his social media, seeking explanations. One exclaimed, “where did the suns tirade go im gonna cry man,” while another voiced disbelief over the album’s disappearance. A particularly irate user tagged Rashad and questioned the removal’s rationale, using an angry emoji for emphasis.
Released in 2016, The Sun’s Tirade features collaborations with notable artists such as Kendrick Lamar, SZA, and Jay Rock. It’s a cornerstone of Rashad’s career, serving as his debut studio album under TDE after 2014’s Cilvia Demo.
Following The Sun’s Tirade, Rashad addressed personal challenges, including financial struggles and time in rehab for alcohol addiction, eventually releasing his sophomore album The House is Burning in 2021.
As fans anxiously await the return of The Sun’s Tirade to streaming platforms, there is some good news regarding new music. Rashad has been teasing his next project, revealing pride in both the production and lyrics in his forthcoming album.
In a message shared by NFR Podcast, Rashad spoke of “finishing strong,” and expressed excitement about the album’s progress. He hinted at possibly releasing it later this year during a show in Dallas, though the exact timing remains uncertain.
While the disappearance of The Sun’s Tirade remains a mystery, fans can take solace in the prospect of new music from Isaiah Rashad. However, until clarity emerges, the void left by the album’s absence continues to be felt.
