Live in the Lab Ep 178 | Tab One – I’m Going For A Run (Full Album Review) | I Am The 1 Mag Gang

Tab One isn’t just running laps — he’s running the game. 🏃🏾‍♂️💨
On this Live in the Lab episode, 1 Man Gang breaks down “I’m Going For A Run,” the latest album from the North Carolina lyricist known for his thoughtful storytelling and razor-sharp delivery.

Across twelve tracks, Tab blends 90s boom-bap, soulful jazz textures, and modern precision, crafting a sound that feels both nostalgic and necessary.
From the laid-back elegance of “Boom Baptist” to the lyrical acrobatics of “Too Much” and the timeless groove of “Gorgeous” — every cut gets tested for consistency, craftsmanship, and replay value.

1MG runs the ROI formula on the full project to determine whether it’s a guaranteed return or a risky investment.

💰 Highlights:

• Deep-dive on Tab One’s flow, features, and production choices

• Honest track-by-track analysis

• Final ROI verdict

Whether you’re a fan of Kooley High, classic East Coast hip-hop, or just love seeing lyricism treated like a fine art, this review gives you insight, entertainment, and a reason to respect the craft.
