History

Abstract Rude is one of the original spawns of L.A.'s historical Good Life Cafe, a renowned open mic venue. Ab would sharpen steel with steel every Thursday night at the Good Life alongside other veterans like "Freestyle Fellowship", "Funk Trends", "Volume 10", "CVE", and many more. The Good Life was the birthplace of a new West Coast Hip Hop sound that influenced the likes of "Pharcyde", "Skee-Lo", and others in the early 1990s. In 2009, Abstract Rude released the album Rejuvenation on Rhymesayers Entertainment. It is entirely produced by Vitamin D.
