    Zay spoke about him and his philosophy behind the features on this album
    "... That’s why on the album, I put a lot of people whose music I like on specific songs that were more catered to them than to me. I think that’s somewhat like being a director and treating myself, the rapper, as more of a character. Because at the end of the day, I’m more of a producer and director than anything else, I just happen to write the scripts too..."

    Zay did an interview and he basically said the idea behind the title is that when the house is burning or when shit hits the fan what are you gonna do. Are you gonna go back into the fire and risk your health to grab certain possessions or are you gonna just watch it burn and start new. So happy with this album I love Zay man.

    I see what you mean, but the laid back, “one big wave” sound is what I love about zay’s music. I love how his voice blends into songs like an instrument. It makes his projects feel like one big dream. It’s like the way you can’t remember anything from dreams, you just remember fragments (the songs) and try to make sense of it all (the album) afterwards. In the moment, while you’re dreaming, you can only really sense the texture of the dream and the way it made you feel.

    Zay said in an interview that he likes seeing his albums as movies which he directs, so sometimes he makes songs for other people in which he is only a character, so I guess that explains why you feel like in some songs he is overshadowed by the feature

    • @imemberberry
      @imemberberry 3 роки тому +1

      I get that. But also, that's called a "feature." Nothing wrong with tailoring a beat to the feature to make them comfortable, but letting someone overshadow your own track on your own album is nah. Being a "character" on your own track makes little sense to me. On RIP Kevin Miller he sandwiched two verses around one of the best rappers working at that time and sounded like two different people. Now even The Garden which needed no help (from the "leak") sounds worse than it did before and adds a nonsensical Uzi verse when he shoulda just paid XXX's estate for an "ayy" drop and called it a day. Plenty of tracks I like on this album, but idk why every feature ran rampant and kinda ruined the track for me. 200/Warning was good though. First two albums were better, sadly.

Zay is like "it's been nice, but I think it's time for you to leave". His music is entirely his own little world.

      He has said in two separate interviews that there will be no more 5 years waits and that Kenny Beats' : "Don't Over Think Shit" was a mainstay on this album so most of the tracks were freestyles except like one or 2. When further asked if he likes making albums with freestyles he said he didn't, saying that he just wanted to try it once. So his next album will hopefully be more like H2BU. But Zay went 3/3 for me, quality album.

    I gotta say my guy. I really appreciate your lens on this album. I definitely understand how the features outshine him. However, where I'd disagree is how he lets them. I feel that IR is so mellow that he lets his guests create their own realm within his to make it more natural. I felt like he's really in his own space and letting the guests create their own flames within his. And he's coming out of his dark place to let those fires burn. At least that's my interpretation of this album. I enjoyed it a lot on initial listen but my views may change after a few weeks. Thank you for the review Shawn.
    I'd give this album a 9/10 if I had to rate it

    I think the title of the album definitely has a major impact on what Zay was going for here. As you said, the music makes you feel warm and inviting, which reinforces the idea of a house burning because the track list is representing that of a invitation to its house in which is on fire. Also when Zay melts into the beats or when he lets the Features take over, it’s supposed to represent him letting the fire consume him or take over the songs as fire takes over and spreads on the house. That’s my take on it I’m still listening to this album on repeat
