Off the buzz from the release of the EP, Rashad was named to the 2014 XXL freshman class. Cilvia Demo was met with widespread acclaim from music critics and charted at number 40 on the US Billboard 200. On January 28, 2014, he released Cilvia Demo, his first extended play, via digital distribution.

In March 2013, Rashad signed to the Carson, California-based record label Top Dawg Entertainment. He is a founding member of the Chattanooga hip hop collective The House along with fellow Chattanooga rappers YGTUT, Michael Da Vinci (MikeyD), Chris P, and Brian Brown. His first big break was performing on the 2012 Smoker's Club Tour with rappers Juicy J, Joey Badass and Smoke DZA among others. “ Joe Budden is the last person that should be interviewing him.” one commenter on Twitter wrote.Isaiah Rashad Joel McClain (born May 16, 1991), is an American rapper.

“I felt responsible for my family and stuff, because my grandma was going through this cancer stuff already, and my granddaddy just had a stroke and died.”Īfter the interview was posted, fans on Twitter were quickly critical of Budden being the chosen interviewer on this particular topic, calling out the host’s lack of understanding about topics of sexuality and his constant questioning throughout the interview of what being sexually fluid meant. I wrecked my f-in’ car ’cause I was super in my head,” he said. “The first couple days was kind of weird for me. The rapper also spoke about the fallout he’s experienced since the tape was leaked and how it affected his mental health. When Budden expressed further confusion at the concept of being sexually fluid while also remaining monogamous, Rashad made it clear that he is currently monogamous, and explained that being sexually fluid “doesn’t mean I’m going out and doing whatever.”

“And sometimes, it’s just being attracted to somebody,” he added. After Budden asked “what does that mean” in regards to the Top Dawg Entertainment rapper’s sexuality, Rashad explained further that he’s often “more attracted to a personality” or a person’s “intellect” than their gender.
