Rapper Ab-Soul is back with 'Herbert,' a memoir1 in album form

Transcript2

Content warning: This story contains discussion of suicide.

Evocation3 and humor are two centrally important tools for a rapper – but when Ab-Soul describes his approach to a new album, released last week, he says he "didn't want to have the most punchlines, the most metaphors4." It's a striking creative departure for an artist known as "a rapper's rapper."

That pivot5 was caused, in part, by a very difficult experience during the pandemic, when he went through what he's referred to as "a suicidal blackout" at the height of lockdown. Now, after a long hiatus, the TDE-signed Ab-Soul has returned with Herbert – its title is his real name and, in the spirit of those last couple of years, it can often resemble a memoir. One in which he is trying to come to terms with how grief has changed him.
