Black Hippy crew member Ab-Soul has a new video out for "Terrorist Threats," a song from his recently released sophomore album Control System. While the APLUSFILMZ-directed video is rather minimalist focusing on shots of Ab-Soul and guests Danny Brown and Jhene Aiko with digital graffiti and footage of 9/11 and Barack Obama added in post-production, the video visually captures the sinister vibe of the song. It's no coincidence that Ab-Soul's distrust of the government is backed with red, white, and blue graffiti.

Ab-Soul- Control System
Reviews4 CommentsCalifornia rapper Ab-Soul's sophomore release is as varied as it is exciting. Strong flows, clever rhymes, and lots of personality.
Ab-Soul- "ILLuminate" ft. Kendrick Lamar (Loved)
New TracksCommentBlack Hippy crew member Ab-soul has been leaking a lot of songs from his upcoming album Control System, the latest being a track featuring Kendrick Lamar. On this song both of them show their lyrical prowess on the subject of how they make the music they want to make and what success means to them. Ab-soul has been showing with all of his recent releases an improved ability to create some dynamic wordplay in his songs, as well as a general improvement to his flow. Kendrick continues to kill every track he is featured on using some pretty intense wordplay of his own, as well as a gruff, focused vocal delivery that makes his lyrics hit much harder.
Control System is out May 11.
