Kendrick Lamar & Ab-Soul – “Sail” (Remix)

I’ve been obsessed with Awolnation’s record “Sail” ever since I heard the single on 101.9 New Rock in NY. Since then, the station has been shut down which is pretty upsetting since it was the only station on FM that I really listened to, but “Sail” still earned a spot in my iTunes and was in…
