Bio

Abdul Harvey aka A-B was born December 12th, 1983 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Since the age of 10 he has always known that music would be a major part of his life. Shortly after he and his mother relocated to Durham, North Carolina in 1996 he met his friend by the name of Timothy aka Nap. The two would go on to form Black Money, a music label comprised of themselves as well as a few other friends/artists. A-B attended the School of Communication Arts at Digital Circus in Raleigh, NC to learn more about about the audio engineering side of music. Producing and engineering were his first ambitions and even though he always had a lyrical talent, being behind the scenes was his first choice. Lack of hunger on the part of previous associates led A-B to share the lyrical talent he's always posessed, taking the role of an MC. His musical influences include a large collection of old school artists like Marvin Gaye, Al Green, the Ojay's, Isley Brothers, and Michael Jackson, to name a few. New school artists include Nas, Jay-Z, Kanye, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, Common, Mos Def, Raekwon, Biggie Smalls, and Tupac Shakur. Hip hop has changed since A-B was a young boy in New Jersey but he knows that he has a lot to offer in the music game and he plans on leaving his mark. STAY TUNED...
