Tag: Ab-Soul

From the heart of Los Angeles, Ab-Soul has been laying down tracks that provoke thought since the mid-2000s. Part of Black Hippy, he’s in good company with Kendrick Lamar, yet he stands out for his reflective, almost philosophical approach to rap. His life’s trials, notably his battle with Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, aren’t just part of his story, they’re central to his art. Ab-Soul’s not here to make noise, he’s here to make you think, to question, to grow. His music is a dialogue with the soul, not just a background track.
