Ab-Soul vs. K Camp — The Boombox Battle

Ab-Soul K CampThe Boombox

Ab-Soul cleaned up yet again in The Boombox Battle last week. His song, ‘Hunnid Stax,’ took 72.06 percent of the vote, leaving Troy Ave’s ‘Your Style (Remix)’ with only 27.94 percent of the fan vote.


‘Hunnid Stax’ is off Ab-Soul’s recently released LP, ‘These Days…’ The rapper and fellow TDE member Schoolboy Q rhyme about hustling and making as much money as possible. Kenny Beats provides the rhythm as the two hip-hop artists show off their distinct rapping styles — Ab-Soul’s staccatto approach against Schoolboy’s laid-back flow.


“Who gettin’ that dough / Who gettin’ that cake / Who gettin’ that bread / Put a ticket in your head if you can’t relate / Who gettin’ that fatty / Who gettin’ that change,” Ab-Soul spits at the top of track.


Meanwhile, K Camp is Ab’s opponent this week with his song ‘Cut Her Off.’ Featuring 2 Chainz, the ATL native calls out all the cheating ladies out there. Produced by WillaFool, the track may have initially dropped in December 2013 but it’s been heating up this year as it climbs the Billboard Hot 100 chart.


“So what you saying, ho? / You know I’m the man, ho / Nothing but a bird, I’m a leave you where you stand, ho / Heard you got a man, ho / Hope he understand, though / You ain’t nothing but a creeper, baby I’m just saying, though / Saying, though,” K Camp delivers on the chorus.


Will Ab-Soul grab another win this week? Or will K Camp’s track grab the fans’ attention and get him The Boombox Battle crown? You’ll be able to vote for your favorite once per hour until the polls shut down on Tues., July 8, at 10AM ET.
