Ab-Soul Interview With Home Grown Radio (Audio)




I`m out of the country for a couple weeks, so updates are not going to be as consistent. I'll try to update daily though, so keep checking back!

We also have him break down just a few bars off his current album Control System, but he definitely leaves the rest up to our imagination. (Interview starts at 23:29)
