Ab-Soul has revealed the tracklist to his upcoming new album Soul Burger.
Set to release this Friday, November 8, the 15 track album is set to feature contributions from fellow TDE labelmates Doechii and J.I.D., Vince Staples, Fre$H, Ty Dolla $ign, Lupe Fiasco, TDE President Punch, Blxst, Asia Holiday, JasonMartin (f.k.a. Problem) and a posthumous feature from TDE affiliate and close friend of Ab-Soul, Doeburger.
Ab-Soul spoke about the inspiration behind the album in a recent interview with DJ Hed: “The idea came to fruition after [Doe Burger]’s transition and it’s just something that was very important for me to do ‘cause I don’t even know how I’m really still doing this without him,” he said. “That’s how tight-knit we were.”
“He wasn’t no hype man or hangaround; he was really my big homie. He was really the star of it. He put the glow on it. I just been tryna channel him. I got my hair braided — that was against my religion — I got jewelry on.”
Soul continued saying, “I just been trying to channel him and my best way of doing that is through the music. Hence the title — it’s the fusion of me and him. We was literally Huey and Riley from The Boondocks. To where this album is not me – it’s Soul Burger. That’s not me. It’s like a new artist. It’s not a Ab-Soul project, it’s a Soul Burger project, so I recommend everybody listen to it in terms of that.”
