Get ready, hip-hop fans! Ab-Soul might be dropping a new album sooner than we anticipated. DJ Hed, in an interview with Elliott Wilson, revealed he’s heard some tracks and couldn’t help but call them “slaps.” Hed, who is trusted for insider info, especially about Kendrick Lamar, isn’t one to toss around praise lightly. So, you know it’s serious.
Ab-Soul, the Carson rapper, dropped “Herbert” in 2022, leaving fans hungry for more. He took a six-year hiatus since “Do What Thou Wilt,” largely to focus on his mental health. He bravely opened up about his struggles and an attempt to end his life earlier that year. Thankfully, he’s in a much better headspace now, surrounded by supportive peers and family.
Fans were immediately hooked on “Herbert” for its trademark lyricism and brutal honesty, something Ab-Soul never shies away from. Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith hinted at new music during a Twitter Q&A in March last year, even promising a deluxe edition of “Herbert”. Although it hasn’t dropped yet, fans are still excited for what’s to come.
This year, TDE has been buzzing with new releases. ScHoolboy Q blessed fans with “Blue Lips,” SiR dropped “HEAVY,” and Isaiah Rashad has an album on the horizon. With this much activity, it’s only natural for Ab-Soul to join the party.
Recently, DJ Hed and Ab-Soul were spotted at Kendrick Lamar’s “The Pop Out” concert. Hed had an early set, and later, the two joined Lamar for a group photo that wrapped up the event. During the show, Lamar rapped his Drake diss “6:16 In LA” with his hand on Soulo’s shoulder—an iconic moment for TDE fans.
While we don’t have an exact release date for Ab-Soul’s next project, DJ Hed’s confirmation that he’s working on it is all we need to stay hyped. Any new music from Ab-Soul is bound to be a treat for hip-hop lovers.
Exciting times are ahead for hip-hop enthusiasts as Ab-Soul gears up to drop new music.
