Ab-Soul, aka Herbert Anthony Stevens IV, is an American hip hop artist born in Carson, California, America 1987. Personally, I think he should have kept his real name as his rapper name too...
Ab-Soul's rapping career began back in 2002. It took him a couple of years to find his feet in the rap industry. He drifted through the hip hop filled air for many years, becoming closely associated with Kendrick Lemar and then forming super-group 'Black Hippy.' This was a west-coast rap star packed group with high class performers Schoolboy Q and Jay Rock. Ab-Soul wasn't as profound as these class acts, his voice hadn't been heard yet, but this super group would be the start of Ab-Soul's evolution as a prestigious California rapper. With years of Black Hippy in his locker room, 2011 was the year Ab-Soul produced his long-awaited debut record 'Longterm Mentality.' A solo project he could call his own, exactly what Ab-Soul needed. Of course his home boys from Black Hippy came in hand on tracks like 'Hell Yeah' and 'Moscato.' His music is a clash of Little Wayne and the sick, twisted lyrics of Eminem. The demon shaped silhouette of Marshal Mathers.
He is also an exceptional live performer. Back in 2012 friend and P.I.C on the mic Schoolboy Q announced the 'Groovy Tour' which was a month long tour and made sure Ab-Soul accompanied him on this groovy rap tour.
However 2012 was a topsy turvey year for our Abs. Ab was delivered the news that his long-term girlfriend died and this led Ab into a black hole of sadness. However like all talented souls, Ab turned this dark heart into a masterclass piece of work, and producing his best album 'Control System,' dedicating the album to his girlfriend.
Now three albums in and his latest record 'These Days' released this year is sending him on an acclaimed US tour. His lyrics are excelling and it's clear to see now at 27, Ab-Soul has matured into this lyrical beast, being tamed by the masses that turn up to see him live. 'Dub Sac' is an example of Ab's growth in lyrical wizardry, and is the stepping stone for future recordings.
Read moreSay farewell to your former self, because life will never be the same after an Ab-Soul show. This is a guy with one hand on the hip-hop throne, and the other inside your brain. Known worldwide for his introspective lyricism, Ab-Soul’s incredible live presence stretches far beyond his trademark big hair, baseball cap and shades.
When Ab-Soul takes to the stage, pandemonium ensues. Beers are thrown, hands reach for the sky, and basslines shatter everything in a three-mile radius - but, above all this, what’s most palpable is the relentless and unbreakable connection Herbert has with his audience. For that short moment, there’s a real and genuine feeling of invincibility. Unsurprisingly, Ab-Soul’s trajectory reached it’s most recent peak with ’Black Hippy’, a supergroup formed with Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q and Jay Rock.
An explosive performance at New York festival ‘Downtown’ in 2013 belongs in the hip-hop hall of fame.Much like his peers at the top of the rap hierarchy, Ab-Soul’s background speaks volumes about his music. Struck down with a rare virus at age ten, Herbert (as he was known then) would free-style online, in text. Perhaps it’s the closed, private and introspective nature of his rap origins that bred the raw talent we see today.
Ab -Soul put on a GREAT show. All of the songs he performed were from These Days... and Contol Sytem so dont expect much from the Long Term series. The openers were really great as well. They were an Atlanta duo named EarthGang and Bas. If you have tickets be prepared for a VERY enrgetic show!
It was great to see Ab-Soul. First professional hip hop performance and I'm glad he delivered well. Had Little Simz as a great opening act. T1 did his thing on the turntables and the other DJ did as well. Just an over all great show for a fan like me.
THE SHOW WAS LIT!!!!!
Not enough energy, but SOULO & LIL SIMZ SHOWED UP. Definitely a great time, enjoyed meeting an inspiration of mine. The crowd went nuts for Terrorist Threat, YMF, and all the Longterm II content.
Souloho was worth the trip. Definitely seeing him again when he comes to town and the dydes who opened the show did a good job keeping the crowd hyped until solo came out
