VIDEO: Ab-Soul Feat. Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q & Jay Rock – Black Lip Bastard (Black Hippy Remix)

Something about Willie B’s production on here – the muffled call-to-arms horns and ominous temple mantra feel – conjures up Wu-Tang Forever, but it’s strictly a Black Hippy insurrection. Bar for bar and snare to it’s snap, this goes hard as hell. One of the most consistent crews in Rap doing it right now without any real gimmickry you could call them out on. We’re all waiting to see how Kendrick rounds off the years hat-trick with good kid, m.A.A.d city following up on the excellent Bad Habits & Contradictions from Schoolboy Q and Ab-Soul, whose Control System that this track features on is out now to buy here.
