Song of the Day

Ab-Soul - "The Book Of Soul"
Yes, I'm back. I never planned to leave, but I have over 15 albums to get caught up on so I've been trying to dive into that while juggling the Holidays and everything. Best of 2012 will be late because I have to play catch up, but I'm excited about the music I've heard lately. Finally, finally got into the Ab-Soul disc, Control System. This song is so damn dope. Ab discusses his seven-year relationship with the love of his life before she passed. "You used to say I could see the future, but you were wrong because you were in it." That shit hits hard. Ab continues to spit, "Everything I love the most gets taken away, my momma and music is next/And if that happens before I turn 28, then I'm going out with Curt Kobain." The jazzy instrumental matches Ab's mood perfectly as he shows just how introspective a lyricist he is.
