    IT’S BEEN AWFUL is the sound of Rashad breaking lock after lock open, and letting everything bundle out into the open; on the late-summer air, his flurried thoughts spread into a stunning whole of growth and selfhood.

    It’s Been Awful boasts some of Rashad’s most immediately gripping and memorable hooks to date.

    Citing Prince and OutKast as touchstones, the record has a sun-damaged feel that envelopes the darker material without washing it out.
