I don’t know a lot about Ab Soul except that he is part of the “Black Hippy” scene out of the west coast. What I do know, is that this song is fire and it has me interested in seeing what else Ab Soul releases. He has a good flow, and some genuinely funny bars.

My dude Big KRIT is about to drop another mixtape (these are albums IMO but I digress) and here is the cover – once again great joby whoever does KRIT’s artwork!
ScHoolboy Q – Nightmare On Figg St. [VIDEO]
It is funny what a cool video can do. On Schoolboy Q’s recent album (which was fire) I never even counted this as a stand out track, but the video helps remind you how HARD it is. Great use of “video chick” as well.

Complex takes a look at my favorite hip-hop group.
LG (feat. Slim Boogie and 12Gauge) – Every Summer
Straight out of New Orleans comes LG, don’t expect a Lil Wayne clone though, LG would rather be Nas. This track from his latest effort Synth Sounds was one of my fav trackss on a very solid album.
Stalley – City of 30,000 Wolves Quote
They shooting hammers, burning candles on that sidewalk/ Holy Mary, these streets are scary, and these guys bark/ Revolvers and automatics for that side talk/ Take everything to heart so nothing sliding dog/ So if you reach make sure you squeeze it off/ These little niggas don't got books, but got that Nina RossStalley
Action Bronson & Statik Selektah – Strictly Business Pt. 1 &2
Action Bronson makes his second appearance on the Best Rap Songs of 2012. Once again he is rhyming over a selection of pop music samples. This time he chooses the classic MotownPhilly and another New Jack Swinish song…that I have seen attributed to Take 6.
Gangrene – Vodka & Ayahuasca
Gangrene is a “super” group between producers Oh No and Alchemist. You can imagine with that production lineup the music is dark, hard beats, grimey, etc… Well you are right. While neither man is what I would term a great rapper, they do create interesting music. The video matchs the music. Even if you don’t [...]
Ed Sheeran & Yelawolf – You Don’t Know
The first couple seconds of this song I was ready to turn it off because it reminded me of some Moxy Fruvos bullshit or something. Then the beat dropped and it had a Roots – Your Got Me vibe to it. I also noticed that Yelawolf KILLS this. His flow is great on this.
