In an era of endlessly copied trends and sound-alike rappers it’s sadly rare to hear a truly original sound. Well listeners, I’m here today to proudly announce that I’ve never heard something quite like Ab-Soul’s music before. Repping for the chronically under-repped city of Carson, California, Ab-Soul makes his DJBooth premier with his memorable track King of Carson. Over a frantically moving beat from producer King Blue filled with live percussion and funk bass lines, Ab-Soul delivers hyper-cinematic verses that match the track’s musical creativity. You may love it or hate it, but you sure as hell won’t forget it. Those looking to hear more of the Carson King’s music can download his new mixtape, Longterm Project and, of course, keep it locked to DJBooth.net.

West Coast music is coming back, mark my words. I love what I'm hearing from the Westside lately, and this is no different. Way different sound than you'd expect, but incredibly unique and enjoyable. Best part was the verses, but overall very good record.

There are certain songs that don't have any one particular standout feature, but altogether they just work. "King of Carson" is that kind of track. I like the experimental WC vibe and the wordplay.

The combination of this innovative production and Ab-soul's off-kilter flow makes for an intriguing blend that gave you just enough and then leave you hanging for more ... Rotation fa sho!

I've lived in California for a decade and Carson is one of those places that gets overlooked a lot, even here. I don't know if everyone there's making such innovative music or just Ab-Soul, but I'm impressed.
