Ab-Soul – Control System
Top Dawg Entertainment
Bottom Line: You know those albums that fly over head, then you listen to it a few years later, and you realize how much of a masterpiece it actually was. I guarantee some of you will be saying the same thing about this album. Ab-Soul is the type of lyricist that may sound plain upon first plays, but when you listen closely to his lyrics you realize how deep and complex his verses actually are. This may be my favorite album of 2012; it definitely has the most spins. Read Cornell Da Gr8’s review here.
