Ab-Soul has been gearing up for the release of his upcoming album ‘Herbert,’ and has spoken candidly about his music, life, and mental health.
While speaking to Rolling Stone, Ab-Soul revealed that he survived a suicide attempt and talked about how that related to his album. Soulo said, “Most of what you’ve heard, I wrote before … it.” The rapper then said that the smiles he shows since the incident are a way to heal. “I just wanna make it clear: You see me smiling, but it’s not funny. I think that’s just my way of healing from it,” said Ab-Soul.
The TDE artist spoke about his intentions behind telling the personal story, with hopes of describing the incident and how he moved past it as a way to inspire positive outcomes for others. “Me sharing my testimony — if it doesn’t help, it might let you know you’re not the only one going through it,” he hopes. “That’s what ultimately gives me the courage to put it out there.” said the rapper.
