But this is part of what made Cilvia Demo so enjoyable, the contrast between Rashad’s upbeat and joyful side which allows him to deliver lines like this effectively, and the laid-back side which he utilized to is full potential on January promo single “Smile”, which unfortunately didn’t make the final tracklist. You almost don’t notice that a major line in the chorus of “4r Da Squaw” is “Ba-da-bip-ba-ip-bap-boo”. Rashad makes the most of these beats, making semi-nonsensical lines like “Meal ticket ticket/Meal ticket ticket, comma, uh” or simply random syllables pop out. These are the songs that resemble Cilvia the most, featuring bombastic yet undeniably Southern beats from Top Dawg Entertainment’s resident Tennessean among Californians. Rashad still has the technical ability he demonstrated on Cilvia Demo, hitting listeners with the quick one-two punch of “4r Da Squaw” and “Free Lunch” before the album begins to enter more experimental territory. The final product he delivers is quite different from his debut Cilvia Demo, choosing to focus more on the laid-back delivery he showcased at times on his earlier work and building the sound of the album around this. Isaiah Rashad certainly understands just how anticipated this album was, as he opens his album with a voicemail from labelmate ScHoolboy Q demanding its whereabouts.
