Albums Ab-Soul - Soul Burger (Discussion Thread)

[dubsmith_nz]

Although this album is a step down from Herbert it is still a great album to me. Alot more just straight forward raps, sounds very much like a modern LA rap album.

"Bucko JR" is great, really enjoyed "Sky Is Limitless" as well. Great to see Soul putting more work out regularly, hopefully it continues.

Disappointed we didn't get a Doechii verse on that track though.

I’ve always like Ab Soul, but I haven’t always liked his music. This album feels like he finally figured out a style that works without doing too little or too much. Dope project. I’ve listened to the album 3 times in the last 24 hours.

It definitely feels like hes gone back to just rapping because he likes to rap, and less so because of trying to paint a picture or send a message

Feel the same. These two back to back albums are very good, exactly what I want to hear from him
