Abstract Rude and How the Blowed was Built Pt. 2 | Secret Skin w/ Open Mike Eagle

In part 2 of Open Mike Eagle's conversation with Project Blowed co-founder Abstract Rude, we explore the time right after the release of the legendary Project Blowed compilation, Blowedians getting and losing major label deals and the beginning of the independent rap scene as we know it.

Awesome interview. I had no idea Abstract Tribe Unique had a deal with Grand Royal. I actually own a copy of; Masquerade (w/ the hand writing) & the Project Blowed official tape. I believe there was an ad for the P.B. Tape in Urb Magazine. Thanks again for shining some light on such a Uniquely-Influential Artist.

Dope interview. Ab should look to voice overs, audio books, etc.

Yo Open Mike great interview,! I'd love to hear Aceyalone being interviewed by you

[@mikenoface]

Ab's voice on that All Balls Don't Bounce album... added so much dope flavor. I still know them rhymes by heart.

2:58 Ah man - I don't know Abstract Rude or Abstract Tribe Unique's catalog but I'm dying to know what song he's quoting here. "1994 seems the year we all get paid/ We all get paid, I'm sure/ Why the hell'd it take so long"

[@runthecomics]

That quote was from Abstract Rude's song Strength of ATU from the Project Blowed compilation (1995).
