After reemerging with “Hollandaise” within the spring, the mercurial TDE rapper Ab-Soul has been kicking out new singles constantly this fall, together with “Moonshooter” and “Do Better.” As you may need guessed, it’s been main as much as an album.
Herbert, the primary new Ab-Soul LP in six years, shall be out in December. (So will fellow TDE star SZA’s long-awaited S.O.S.; I assume Top Dawg determined to filter out the queue in any case these years.) Along with the brand new album announcement, Ab-Soul has shared one other single right now. On the Sounwave-produced Fre$h collab “Gang’Nem,” Ab-Soul adopts a tone and cadence that jogs my memory of Danny Brown. “All my naysayers are eatin’ crow/ ‘Cause we reapin’ everything that we can sow,” he raps. “Needle and thread in my head, I’m a string theorist/ Everything is connected and we the seamstresses.”

Herbert is out 12/16 through TDE.
