To Isaiah Rashad, With Love

Rap music no longer inspires me for a few different reasons, so I haven’t really listened to a lot of rappers consistently in a few years aside from Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole. Nas and Jay-Z will always be playing somewhere in my background so there’s that too. So when…
