An improvement over the previous two, but Soulo is almost certainly capable of more consistent full-lengths.

Ab-Soul - Do What Thou Wilt.
ReviewsCommentTDE's living lyrical conundrum, Ab-Soul, returns for one of his most dense albums yet.
Ab-Soul - "D.R.U.G.S."
New TracksCommentA cut from Ab-Soul's newly released LP Do What Thou Wilt. Joined by Mac Miller on the hook and bridge, Soulo professes his love for many people and things, including - you guessed it - drugs. Of course, he does come across as conscious about substance dependence along the way.

Jay Rock - "Parental Advisory" (prod. SmokeyGotBeatz)
New TracksCommentTop Dawg Entertainment figurehead and Black Hippy Member Jay Rock might have had the least hyped debut of everyone in his crew, but his followup is gonna carry some serious heat with tracks like "Parental Advisory" on it.
This West Coast rapper is sounding absolutely hungry and aggressive on this new single. The beat's loaded with synths, and sounds like an eerie, modernized take on 90s gangsta rap. Very nocturnal. This thing is the ideal soundtrack to some late-night antics.
Lyrically, Jay Rock isn't delving into anything altogether new, but his junkyard dog delivery is enough to make these grimy, violent tales worth hearing again--not to mention the hook on this thing is killer, too. Rock carries the track on his own, forgoing a feature, which I think was a smart move. The track is short & sweet, and sounds best that way.
