Album Notes & Community Reviews

The second independent album from the Black Hippy lyricist is a dense, deeply paranoid exploration of political conspiracy, spirituality, and personal tragedy. Ab-Soul balances complex, conscious rap flows over atmospheric production, establishing himself as the deeply philosophical core of the TDE roster.
