Ab-soul -Time is of the Essence
Ok so Ab-soul is the most recent additions to my list of favorite rappers. He’s 1/4 of Black Hippy (Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul) and an artist on the label TDE (Top Dawg Entertainment) based in California. In his music he strays far from the typical rap subjects sometimes without the listener even realizing it.
I love the concept of educating people on the sly, causally introducing new concepts and knowledge as if it’s not even an odd thing to speak on. His current album is entitled “Control Systems” (it’s good) but the album I’ve found myself so many times listening to was his previous release “Longterm Mentality”. There are a couple of songs I love on that album but one that sticks out is Time is of the Essence. I guess I just feel like I’ve wasted a lot of time in my life.
Anyway thanks Ab-soul for doing what you do.
