Social Eyes: Week of Nov. 12-18

Isaiah Rashad might be one of the most underrated rappers in modern hip-hop. He rose to recognition in 2012 after making his way to the top in the Chattanooga, Tennessee, area. The next year he signed to Top Dawg Entertainment and toured or collaborated with label mates like Schoolboy-Q, Ab-Soul and Kendrick Lamar. Rashad blends smooth R&B beats with his brand of conscious and quick rapping for a sound that can be almost otherworldly at times while still maintaining a vibe that gets people on the dance floor. Earlier this year he released his fifth studio album, It’s Been Awful, a sentiment shared by many in 2026. — Mat Weir.

In the early days of the pandemic, circa 2020–2021, there might not have been any Bay Area food product as wildly popular as Basuku’s burnt-topped, oozingly creamy Basque cheesecakes. Founder Charles Chen started baking the cakes out of his Oakland apartment, inspired by a version he’d first tried in Japan. And for the next few years, it often felt like customers needed to sell off their first-born child if they wanted to get a hold of one. Instagram flash sales sold out within minutes. When Chen scheduled pop-ups at local restaurants, the lines would stretch, seemingly endlessly, all the way around the block.

When Japanese-born chef Chikara Ono first opened Delage in 2016, a 22-seat sliver of an omakase restaurant next door to Swan’s Market in Old Oakland, fourth-generation Japanese American Kyle Itani was still just a young chef exploring his own heritage in the kitchen at Hopscotch, a classic American diner with a Japanese twist.
