In August, Top Dawg Entertainment CEO Anthony Tiffith announced that Ab-Soul's new album was finished, but it wasn't until late September that "Huey Knew," the rapper's first single in two years, was released. Today, Ab-Soul shares a new video for the track, which finds him seated in a wicker fan-back chair, recreating the classic image of Black Panther leader Huey P. Newton. Still in pursuit of happiness in the midst of the madness/ With middle fingers to bitches with badges that go oink, he raps, as images of Donald Trump and burning Colin Kaepernick jerseys flash behind him. Watch the "Huey Knew" video above.
