Herbert

Herbert Anthony Stevens IV is the least predictable and most internally directed artist in the TDE stable. Herbert is the sound of Ab-Soul being Soulo, doing whatever works. Beats come from Sounwave and Dahi and Hit-Boy, as well as DJ Premier, and the overall vibe is someone making songs as they come to him, styles be damned. Some tracks feel like old Pharcyde, some like new Kendrick, some like heavy Atlanta club tracks. “I’m just anti-negative!” Ab-Soul sings through Autotune. “Bang this in your bucket, don’t worry about nothing,” might be the line to follow.
