History
Abstract Rude's talent was first recognized by Fat Jack. He was soon a regular of hip hop workshop at The Good Life Cafe. However, it wasn't until he handed a tape to Mike D at Grand Royal that Abstract Rude started turning heads worldwide. This got him on the 1994 Grand Royal mixtape Mixed Drink with "Torn" and "Strength of A.T.U." In 1995, he was on Mixed Drink 2 with "Ab Dawlin" and again with "Torn" and "Strength of A.T.U."
Abstract Rude is a co-founder of the hip hop collective Project Blowed. He is prominently featured on many of its artists' releases, as well as Project Blowed and Project Blowed 10th Anniversary compilations, The Good Brothers compilation, and Fat Jack's Cater to the DJ series of albums.
Abstract Rude is a member of Abstract Tribe Unique along with Tribe Unique, which is an interpretive dance duo consisting of Zulu Butterfly and Irie Lion King. They have released several albums such as Underground Fossils, Mood Pieces and P.A.I.N.T.
In 2009, Abstract Rude released the album Rejuvenation on Rhymesayers Entertainment. It is entirely produced by Vitamin D.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.”
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)
“It may be well to remember that the highest level of moral aspiration recorded in history was reached by a few ancient Jews—Micah, Isaiah, and the rest—who took no count whatever of what might not happen to them after death. It is not obvious to me why the same point should not by and by be reached by the Gentiles.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“The history of this country was made largely by people who wanted to be left alone. Those who could not thrive when left to themselves never felt at ease in America.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
