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.
