AB SOUL IN CONCERT:
SoCal rapper and longtime Kendrick Lamar collaborator Ab-Soul is captivating fans of leftfield hip hop with his unique flow, heavy beats, and haunting samples. His mesmerizing sound plays out perfectly at his live shows, where he treats fans to cerebral cuts like "Pineal Gland" and "Closure" with a lyrical precision that lets his witty wordplay really shine. An energetic performer with big talent to match his outsized swag, Ab-Soul never fails to impress with his showmanship and lyrical acrobatics on tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Hailing from Carson, CA, Ab-Soul, a.k.a. Herbert Anthony Stevens IV, was exposed to music from an early age in his family's record store. He wrote his first rap verse at age 12 and continued to hone his skills in online chat rooms dedicated to keystyling -- the text-based equivalent of freestyle rapping. He began performing in the mid-'00s, and in 2007 he signed to Top Dawg Entertainment, an indie label that included budding rappers Jay Rock and Kendrick Lamar on its roster. After releasing two popular mixtapes, Ab-Soul made his album debut in 2011 with Longterm Mentality, a moderate success that landed at No. 73 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. His 2012 sophomore album Control System was a bigger success, receiving praise from critics and peaking at No. 9 on the Top Rap Albums chart. His rise continued in 2014 with his third album These Days..., which featured appearances from Schoolboy Q and Rick Ross and landed at No. 2 on both the R&B and rap charts. A first-rate wordsmith with razor-sharp delivery skills, Ab-Soul continues to floor fans on tour.
Ab-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
The 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.
The concert was dope..Too live!!!..Very entertaining,The best possible experience ever. I cant wait to see #TDE #BlackHippy perform again. I wish I could relive it Again tonight!!! Yall did the most,Im proud of yall. Imma keep on supporting yall #DA #M.Peevy #BlackHippy #HiiiPower
i 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.
