Within recent years, there has been a surge in some of the Hip Hop greats trading their mics in for a seat as a teacher. Some of these artists include Bun-B, Q-Tip, Lupe Fiasco, 9th Wonder, and many more. Ab-Soul is looking forward to joining this roster of educators. The self-proclaimed "Black Lip Pastor" is looking to take his skill set to the classroom to teach a class of his own.
The class is in partnership with the Mickey Factz Pendulum Ink Academy. The Pendulum Ink Academy frequently hosts classes by hip-hop professionals. Students can purchase access to learn more about the Hip Hop business from those in it. Ab-Soul's upcoming class is next on their lineup. His lessons will include more knowledge of his writing technique, flow, and emotional process. Adding to its exclusivity, he will be answering questions from 10 participants about his own songwriting process. This class will take place on May 24 at 7 p.m. EST. On Monday, Mickey Factz made the announcement of the class. He finishes the caption with "Long Live Lyricism."
Ab- Soul's Life Lessons
Moreover, he has been the most authentic about the experiences in his life inspiring his music. Last December, he released his album HERBERT which was named after his actual first name. The album came six years after his previous work Do What Thou Wilt in 2016. The same month, he did a sit-down interview with Charlamagne Tha God where he got candid about drugs, mental health, and the creative process behind the album. He shared that his experiences outside of music influenced the lyrical content of the album. He also shared the more current status of his mental health still being in the healing process. Additionally, students in the upcoming class can learn a lesson on authenticity through his style of rap.
Furthermore, Ab-soul has a lineup of upcoming appearances. He recently announced he has become the father of twins. He will also be releasing a deluxe version of HERBERT this year. Additionally, he is set to go on his The Intelligent Movement Tour next month. His upcoming class is now available for purchase access on the Pendulum Ink Academy website.
