Rapper Isaiah Rashad inked a deal with TDE a few years back, and things seemed like they were about to take off for the young Tennessee native. However, a good amount of time has passed since he signed to the label that houses Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, ScHoolboy Q and more, and we haven’t really seen much of him at all. Turns out, it’s because of a pretty dark reason.

Zay stopped by Peter Rosenberg and Cipha Sounds’ Juan Epstein podcast this week to promote his new mixtape, The Sun’s Tirade, which drops on Friday. While there, he revealed that he has been MIA because of a serious drug problem that ended up getting him pulled off the road by TDE! Thankfully, he’s doing better now and is on the road to recovery.
