To make the loss even more heartfelt, we hear her angelic voice on the tracks “Empathy” and “A Rebellion”. Truthfully, we haven’t heard a more depressing, yet beautiful, dedication to a lost loved one in many a year, over one of the most melancholy melodies ever heard. Incredibly poignant and at times heartbreakingly personal, Ab-Soul makes us confrontational with “Terrorist Threats”, made us think and read with “Pineal Gland”, and made us cry with his deeply somber and painful eulogy to his late girlfriend, and TDE artist Alori Joh, “The Book Of Soul”.

Experimenting with different flows and showing versatility, he quickly became considered every bit of a star as Kendrick.Īs good as Longterm Mentality was, and how nicely we got fully introduced to this thinking stoner, it was this magnificent album that really let us know just there’s a lot more to this Carson native than drugs and getting high.Ĭontrol System shows us a conscious young cat who was in tune with the corruption of the world, as well as other areas such as love, loss, and his own personal health. While we were still in awe of Ab-Soul’s Longterm Mentality album, he dropped his next album, Control System.
