Control System was the second studio album from the California rapper, acting as a crucial bridge between his early mixtapes and his later success. It showcased a heightened level of introspection, with much of the album being crafted in the wake of the passing of his longtime girlfriend, Alori Joh.

Released on May 11, 2012, under Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE), Control System is Ab-Soul’s second studio album. While Kendrick Lamar’s good kid, m.A.A.d city dropped the same year and dominated charts, Control System became the cult favorite for fans who wanted dense, conspiracy-laced, philosophical bars.
