Music For The Sole - Isaiah Rashad 'The Sun's Tirade'
After what feels like too long, Tennessee-born Isaiah Rashad has finally dropped his debut album 'The Suns Tirade', and hour long exploration of the young rappers personality and ambitions, influenced by LA's Top Dawg Entertainment, co-owned by none other than Kendrick Lamar. Although Kendrick signed Rashad, and his influence is evident, we don't often like to compare the rappers as much as other reviewers have done. We believe Isaiah had more than enough strength to stand his own from the success of his mixtapes and smaller recording projects, such as Pieces of a Kid and Cevila Demo. On both projects Rashad's...
Photograph of the week #15
Using a stealthy tone, the Air Jordan 1 Retro in black mono is a true essential. The sneaker itself is a pioneering shoe, the AJ1 was at the forefront of hip-hop culture in America, and still remains recognised as a king on the roads. Here, in all black, the power of the silhouette comes from the iconic nature of the panelling.

Music For The Sole: Travis Scott 'BITTSM'
On Travis Scotts latest studio album, the 24-year-old continues his win streak with the same mysterious, aesthetic fuelled sound that first gained him critical acclaim with 'Rodeo' back in 2015. This time, the Texan comes across more matured and more experienced in the way he presents himself on this project, however lyrical content often follows the same lead as 'Rodeo', not offering much in terms of progression, but offering that same intoxicating, wavey sound that fans of Travis can easily sink their teeth into. To sum it up, Birds expands on Rodeo with a much darker tone.
