Ab-Soul dropped by Shade 45′s Toca Tuesdays last week to promote Control System and drop some bars live on air. This man is a superior lyricist. Check out he and Kendrick’s freestyle on Nas’s “Daughters” instrumental on DJ Green Lantern’s Invasion Radio below as well. ”I’m just sayin, you ain’t nothin like Ab n***er, we’re night … Continue reading »
A beautiful set of visuals to accompany a beautiful track. I’m glad Nas made a video to go along with “Daughters.” This song cannot go unheard, and the visuals will undoubtedly help spread the message.

Common dropped his first single off his upcoming album, The Dreamer, The Believer, about a month ago, and now we have the official visuals for “Ghetto Dreams,” featuring Queensbridge’s pride, Nas.
