    Regarding the elusive, fan-titled track:
    "My Favourite One Night Stand"

    First of all, it's a shame that this track hasn't surfaced, it's his style, it has elements of the sound liled by his fans, and it's one of his better recordings.

    Just listen to the track, Abel flows on this s***!

    By what I've read on ktt/reddit, allegedly the track is on a hard drive, lost, some say it was accidentally deleted... Maybe these are true, maybe the sample wasn't cleared and it still sits in the vault. Who knows.

    ;

    But from the forum there is a quote I hadn't read till recently:

    Nah, the original got lost i think
    someone asked him before he said it got deleted on accident or some s*** like that

    the funny part is that Abel during mixtape era liked this song, he tweeted how bad he felt for "losing" this song.

    Can somebody who was active during that period confirm where Abel addressed this track? Is there any archive of said tweet?

    And if Abel liked it so muh, why the hell doesn't he re-record it?!
    It has great potential even for commercial success, as it's catchy, has replay value among day ones and also casual listeners!

    If only somebody from his circle could see this, and maybe send him the video/audio, or the sample.
    Maybe then he'll suddenly remember it and he'll be like "yo s*** this is actually dope, what if I re-recorded this?"

    Don't you like making more money, mr. motherfucking Starboy? Or having songs that your fans/listeners replay a lot, and regylarly?

    The sample: Onra's "Sorry"

    Good s***, never knew about this. From my experience sometimes grails sound best unreleased :)

    No need to rework this at this stage of his career.
