In the world of Top Dawg Entertainment, Ab-Soul ranks a clear fourth.
That's not the end of the world when the three guys ahead of you are Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q and Jay Rock.
However, Ab-Soul thinks it's his time to shine and he expressed those thoughts on Twitter today, first posting his track '47 bars', which dropped almost a year ago.
