About
Ab-Soul, a rapper from Carson, CA, is known for challenging conventional rap narratives with his deep, thought-provoking lyricism and distinctive style. He joined Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) in 2007, where he became part of the acclaimed rap group Black Hippy alongside Schoolboy Q, Jay Rock, and Kendrick Lamar. His music often explores themes of personal hardship, philosophy, and social issues. He launched his career with his debut album, Longterm Mentality, in 2011, and his third album, These Days... (2014), debuted at number 11 on the U.S. Billboard 200.
Soul's journey has been marked by significant struggles, including being diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson Syndrome at age 10, a condition that severely impacted his vision and skin. In 2012, he endured the devastating loss of his best friend and longtime girlfriend, which profoundly influenced his music and inspired his breakout single, "The Book of Soul" on his sophomore album Control System (2012).
After a six-year hiatus, Ab-Soul returned with Herbert (2022), an album that showcases his vulnerability as he reflects on mental health, grief, resilience, and self-discovery. Fans and critics have praised his growth and authenticity.
In his latest mixtape Soul Burger (2024), Ab-Soul pays tribute to his childhood best friend, Doe Burger, who passed away in 2021. He had always encouraged him to create more upbeat music for his fans to dance to at shows, so this project serves as a homage to him and a reflection of the music he inspired Soul to make. Throughout the mixtape, Doe serves as a narrator urging Soul to persevere despite his challenges.

Awesome
by Noahrob on 9/23/14Masquerade - AtlantaRating: 5 out of 5It took a while for ab soul himself to come out, but he was simply magnetic when he did. He controlled the small crowd extremely well plus the opening acts were great (esp Earthgang)
An Soul Could have been better
by OJustice on 9/23/14Masquerade - AtlantaRating: 3 out of 5Ab Soul take your sun glasses off! Ramp up your energy. Perform Nibiru. Your fans love that song. Peace
Great atmosphere by Soul
by TimHHHR on 7/27/12Green Room - Ft. LauderdaleRating: 4 out of 5Ab-Soul put on a great preformance, really interacted with the crowd, and the sound was pretty clear. Opening acts were bumping, and the DJ kept the vibe right. Another beast concert from black hippie. Shout out to soul brother #2!

the concert was amazing and the music was wonderful. Ab soul had the crowd getting hyped and feeling good
Longest/worst concert I've ever been to
by lgros003 on 7/27/12Green Room - Ft. LauderdaleRating: 1 out of 5The event was supposed to begin at 9:00. Got there at 8:00, to be in the front row, and the doors didn't open until 10:15. When we finally got in, DJ Klassik was playing, which was cool (we expected a dj/opener), but went on for an hour before anyone even came out. There were three openers in total, not counting the DJ, and there was a half hour between each. One didn't come out when called, and the crowd got increasingly angry/impatient, and the announcer was basically egging everyone on. We waited until around 2:00 in the morning, five hours after Ticketmaster indicated, and the third opener showed no signs of finishing. We decided to leave, as I had a long drive the next day. It was a real disappointment, I didn't even get to see the rapper I paid to see. I'll definitely see other TDE rappers in the future, but I don't think I'll ever see Ab-Soul again.

Real cool show
by 40Mane on 5/29/11Key Club - West HollywoodRating: 5 out of 5i been a Black Hippy fan for a minute now but this was my first time seeing either one of them perform in person and they both went hard and did what they was supposed to do and that was shut the key club down, but the show could have had more of soul & Q performing and less opening acts even tho a couple of the opening acts were cool too many people performed.
