I'm fond of the bol K.Dot and all his success is pretty amazing to witness. His whole crew Black Hippy -- consisting of Schoolboy Q, Jay Rock and Ab-Soul -- is tough and it's clear Kendrick Lamar is being shot out as the breakout star of Top Dawg Entertainment...and he deserves his shot.

But I been checking out Ab-Soul since last year and was amazed nobody gave Soul Brother #2 the same listen and shot folks give Kendrick and even Jay Rock (who was signed to a major). I'm gonna try to hip you good people to Ab-Soul if you don't mind.

This track is from Ab's free LP Long Term 2 featuring Kendrick Lamar "Turn Me Up" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WfZ7AQOA8c

This track is from Ab's debut Long Term 1. Dope video actually mirroring the concept of the song too. "Day In A Life" - http://youtu.be/-uowKCItkjI

This is the opening track on Long Term 2, "Still A Regular Nigga" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdXIKGXP3wM

Ab-Soul's first for-sale project Longterm Mentality was dope and here's a song featuring one of his Black Hippy cohorts Schoolboy Q "Hell Yeah" -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHApiAnSHx8

Another collabo with Kendrick Lamar, "Moscato" -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF0NEkdd4ag

Ab-Soul is on a come up. Let me know what ya'll think.
