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."

However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
