Isaiah Rashad’s struggles with depression and addiction are well documented – and on World Mental Health Day he’s shared a few thoughts.

For many people, the TDE rapper’s debut Cilvia Demo showed it was okay to be depressed, that there are others out there feeling the same way, and that it is not taboo to talk about it. This theme was continued on his incredible follow-up The Sun’s Tirade.

Rashad was seemingly prompted by Lil Wayne’s verse on Solange’s Mad to remind people they are not alone.

listening to this solange album.. this dude Wayne just rapped my wholeeeeee past 3 yrs.

Wayne raps about loneliness, the contrast between his former life with little money and the present day – and the problems it brings – as well as attempted suicide. These are themes Rashad has been known to cover and they are especially prominent on a track such as Heavenly Father, from his first EP.

The 25-year-old sought to remind his fans that there’s no shame in talking about your feelings, something Weezy himself did recently when admitting he was “mentally defeated”.

Don't go through the problems in your head alone. There's nothing wrong with asking for help. The worst thing to do is think ur alone in it

Rashad also quoted Chance the Rapper, for who addiction and depression have been important topics.

everybody's somebody's everything. nobody's nothing.

Two relevant lines from Chance the Rapper’s Acid Rap track Everybody’s Something include: I know somebody, somebody loves my ass/because they helped me beat my demon’s ass.

Rashad also showed that even when you know these things it’s easy to forget and feel alone regardless.

I tend to forget that.

Before telling his followers, in as many words, to be your friends’ support systems too.

Considered thoughts, as always.
