Since Ab-Soul released his album Control System last spring, his collaborator Kendrick Lamar went stratospheric with the fantastic good kid, m.A.A.d city, meaning that now is the perfect time for Ab-Soul to give his Lamar-featuring "ILLuminate" its own music video.

The six-minute clip that accompanies this nocturnal cut shows some young folks loitering, writing in notebooks, and listening to records in some sort of dystopian wasteland. Ab-Soul shows up as a projection on some dingy-looking walls, while we see images of Lamar rapping on an old television perched on the back of a bicycle.
