i literally never knew soulo was crippin (no pun intended) before now lmao
i mean, i know he is from LA and you usually going to know someone or be cool with someone in a gang in that circumstance, but he seems to be outright claiming it now which i don't think he used to

Never really listened to Soul as a individual artist a lot but I checked this out. I enjoyed it. Got a lot of nice tracks on here.

Yeah that could all fall under "being cool with" as I stated. But I didn't know he claimed it. He also says "was a fade away from banging ecc, the OG told me stick to slanging abcs"
So I'm confused. He seems harmless, in a good way lol.
Will listen.
Ab-Soul is a name I've heard but never really gave a chance on one of his albums. This was a FANTASTIC listen. The big thing I've noticed is he's such a good writer and he experiments with wordplay in a way I don't see from a lot of rappers. Hella clever lines and some good delivery too. Chill production, good features, some meaningful topics. Man slipped in one of the best albums of the year at the very end of the year and I def think I'm going to have it heavy in my rotation in 2023. Is the rest of his discog this strong? Feels like I'm late lmao

Welcome, and Soul was a beast thru 2012, then two divisive albums, and finally this masterpiece. Definitely check out control system, then visit longterm 2 & longterm mentality, then longterm

yep 190 ECBC (BMF crips) S/O Roccett
I mean he from Carson, I just thought he was a piru/blood
He looks too hippy-ish/drugged out to be deemed a threat, but maybe he turned out that way because he wasn't going to gang bang.
