When the calendar flips to August, Isaiah Rashad will take the road, heading on a 29‑date North American tour that will bring his latest studio effort, It’s Been Awful, to the stage. The Lil Sunny’s Awful Road Trip kicks off on August 13 in Atlanta and winds down on September 28 in Tucson, stopping in major U.S. markets and one Canadian city.

It’s Been Awful entered the market on May 1, 2026 through Top Daw Entertainment (TDE) and Warner Records, marking Rashad’s first full‑length project since 2021’s The House Is Burning and his first album in five years. The 16‑track LP features guest spots from SZA, Dominic Fike and Julian Sintonia, while production credits include Julian Sintonia, Kal Banx, Hollywood Cole and Jansport J, among others. The single “Boy in Red,” released on April 30, 2026, showcases Rashad’s collaboration with SZA.

According to the album’s press release, the project was met with widespread critical acclaim upon its launch. Reviewers praised Rashad’s lyrical depth and the cohesive production that ties the record together.
