Haile Isayas Drops His First Official Album: The Graveyard Shift

Swedish-Eritrean rapper Haile Isayas has just released his long-awaited debut album, The Graveyard Shift — a gritty, emotionally charged underground rap album that marks a major milestone in his journey as an independent artist.

“This isn’t a mixtape,” he says. “It’s my first real album. Everything before this was training.”

Built on dusty boom-bap drums, dark samples, and sharp lyrical introspection, The Graveyard Shift doesn’t follow trends — it sets its own tone. The album speaks directly to those who operate after hours, those building something real while the world sleeps.

Entirely independent — no label, no middlemen — Haile Isayas crafted this project from the ground up, proving that Swedish underground rap is alive and thriving. With this release, he’s not just making noise; he’s making a statement.

If you're into underground hip-hop, lyric-driven rap, and independent artistry, The Graveyard Shift is a must-listen.
