For the ultimate collectors, hunting down the vinyl or CD pressings of the album offers the tangible experience that Ab-Soul’s esoteric art dictates.

Do What Thou Wilt. remains a crucial piece of the 2010s hip-hop puzzle. It is a dark, messy, brilliant, and deeply personal album that rewards patient and thoughtful listening. For fans of lyrical hip-hop, TDE, or anyone curious about the man behind the Black Hippy mystique, it is an essential listen.

Following the mixed critical reception of his 2014 album These Days... , Ab-Soul crafted DWTW as a return to the dense, introspective, and conspiracy-laden style that made his 2012 project Control System a cult classic. Key Themes and Motifs

Sonically, Do What Thou Wilt. is a dark, atmospheric, and sprawling 76-minute journey. The production is handled by a diverse cast of beatmakers, including WondaGurl, Rahki, Willie B, PakkMusicGroup, FrancisGotHeat, Skhye Hutch, and others. The beats range from the abrasive and minimalist to the jazzy and psychedelic, creating a sonic landscape that is as unpredictable as Ab-Soul's lyrical content. The project's length and abrupt tonal shifts have been points of contention among critics, but for many fans, this raw, unfiltered approach adds to the album's cult charm.
