These Days… is the third studio album by Ab-Soul, released independently through Top Dawg Entertainment on June 24, 2014. The album was recorded almost entirely at Mac Miller’s home studio, The Sanctuary, and has a plethora of guest appearances and producers – Soul referred to the project as a “Top Dawg party” – most notably an “Ab-Soul’s Outro” reunion with Kendrick Lamar and Terrace Martin (see “Kendrick Lamar’s Interlude”) and a 20 minute rap battle between Ab-Soul and Daylyt that closes the album.
