In the ongoing battle to get Ab-Soul‘s new album, supposedly called DWTW, out to the world, Soulo answered TDE’s Top Dawg and his call for him to finish up the project.
The Carson, California rapper responded to the exec’s tweet by saying that he and MixedByAli along with Top Dawg’s son Moosa were indeed heading to the studio to get the job done.
So far, two singles have been released for the follow-up to 2014’s These Days…, “Braille” and “Huey Knew.”
Ab-Soul supposedly turned in the tracklist for DWTW in June and Top Dawg said he had the final mixes in August. But clearly, those weren’t the final mixes.
(This article was first published November 12, 2016 and is as follows.)
Ab-Soul officially has less than two months to release his new album before the end of 2016. While multiple steps towards the drop have been announced, there have been multiple hiccups and TDE’s Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith shared the most recent update on the project, supposedly titled DWTW, on Twitter Thursday (November 10).
Top Dawg says that the follow-up to 2014’s These Days… is awaiting final mixing and that is in the hands of the label’s in-house engineer, MixedByAli, and Soulo himself. So he’s tired of answering fan Q&As about the delay.
He’s kept his word and hasn’t tweeted since (except for sharing a link to an Instagram post, but we won’t count that).
No response from Ab-Soul or MixedByAli either.
The second single from DWTW, “Braille” featuring Bas, dropped last week to keep fans somewhat satisfied with new Soulo music along with the banger “Huey Knew.”
Last month, Top Dawg promised a total of six releases before 2017 rings in. He’s a majority of the way there with Kendrick Lamar’s untitled unmastered., ScHoolboy Q’s Blank Face LP, Isaiah Rashad’s The Sun’s Tirade and Lance Skiiiwalker’s Introverted Intuition. Fans are also itching for SZA’s follow-up to Z, but the singer said in October that she quit.
Top dawg just jumped into my top 5 of most annoying people in hip hop. I’m sick of his rants, TDE has
underachieved really bad, they were suppose to be the next top hip hop label, like murder inc, no limit, cash money, g unit. A lot of talent and he doesn’t know what to do with it
THE UNDERACHIEVER OF TDE AB-SOUL STRIKES AGAIN!!!!
Maybe bc they are c00ns, nate higgers!
If it wasnt for Kendrick this dude would be another nobody. Inna few years theyll all leave the label to go indie and keep all there money instead of giving Top Dawg his cut for tweeting bullshit nonsense
Top Dawg Reveals Reason Why Fans Don’t Have Ab-Soul’s New Album Yet: Because nobody is checkin for it. #Fact
No one is checking for it, yet they’re asking him where the album is at. Yeah, makes sense…
It will literally sell under 30K. Be honest. Only backpackers are checking for this album.
So you proved my point, people are checking for it. Thanks.
Waaaay under 30k. More like 3,000 lol.. dude is straight doodoo
