Ab-Soul Is Frustrated With The Delay Of His Music Being Released
Ab-Soul has seemingly had a bit of a strained relationship with TDE in the last couple of years, but his loyalty still hasn’t wavered. If you’ll recall, back in 2014, Soulo had threatened to leak his own album via Twitter, as he was frustrated with not yet getting a release date from TDE’s head honcho, Top Dawg. That situation was later resolved, but a year later, it seemed to be revisited when Soulo tweeted a Soundcloud link to a song that he said may get him dropped. (It obviously didn’t.) Today, we received a similar rant, as the Carson City rapper is apparently tired of warming up the bench. Check out his tweets in the gallery. Hopefully they resolve this soon!
