From CreesjointReleased on May 1, 2026, It鈥檚 Been Awful is Isaiah Rashad鈥檚 third studio album and his first full-length project in nearly five years. Known for his introspective songwriting, laid-back delivery, and soulful production choices, Rashad returns with an album that feels reflective, personal, and rooted in the experiences that have shaped him since his last release. I鈥檝e spent some time with It鈥檚 Been Awful and overall I really enjoy the album. I still need a few more listens to fully sit with it, but my initial feeling is that I prefer The House Is Burning. That album connected with me almost immediately, while this one feels like it may reveal more of itself over time. I鈥檓 interested to hear everyone else鈥檚 thoughts and discuss which songs stood out, what themes resonated, and how this project compares to the rest of Isaiah Rashad鈥檚 catalog.
