Abstract Rude live at Dwntwn

The moment Abstract Rude walked into our Cerritos location you could sense something special was about to happen. Bringing twenty years of west coast hip hop experience all by himself, not to mention five other performers on the line up all hand selected by Abstract Rude himself, this show was entirely made up of real performers doing what they love. DJ Zole is no stranger to the game himself and brought his talent on the ones and twos proving why he is an essential part of the OC Music Awards Best Hip Hop Group (Speach Impediments) two years and running. Each performer had their own unique flow which showcased Keep The Feel Entertainment's diverse and talented roster. MC Woes opened, trading off verses with Abstract Rude to get everyone into the moment. Beond (of Acid Reign and current champion of the 16 Bar Rap Competition) came on and with a brand new song written mere days before the show to raise the bar of what was to be expected out of everyone for the rest of the event. B Squid took the stage next to show the crowd how an expansive vocabulary and quick flow can help you rise to the top of a scene. Fresh from a performance opening for a Dwntwn Favorite and West Coast legend DJ Quik, Namek grabbed the mic with a true gangster lean and continued to push the envelope of excitement with his finely tuned set. Now came the open mic portion of the show where J Roz dropped a few verses of her signature brand of hip hop. Abstract Rude stepped back into the spotlight after that with a five minute opening freestlye rap and then ripped into his songs with a confidence of a true veteran of the mic and stage. Its so inspirational to see someone dedicated to their craft show us all what hip hop is meant to be. Spanning genre and style, Abstract Rude effortlessly changed the beats and flow with adept skill and timing that can keep an entire crowds attention. A huge thank you to everyone involved with putting the event on and we will see you next time.
