ialive - Quietism (Vinyl)

Quietism is the 2025 full-length album from Philadelphia rapper/producer ialive, a reflective and razor-sharp record that blends satirical wit, boom-bap grit, and introspective depth. Built entirely on outside production, Quietism finds ialive stepping fully into the role of emcee, navigating themes of detachment, survival, and modern discontent with clarity and confidence. With dusty drums, warped soul chops, and guest appearances from indie rap allies, the album is both a personal statement and a cipher-ready collection of head-nod anthems—hip-hop for deep thinkers and late-night walkers.
