Almost as soon as Abadawn learned how to speak, he started rapping; and that's the truth. Only 20 years old, and already a seasoned hip hop veteran with several albums to his name, Abadawn is a musical machine. The Unfamiliar Ceilings EP is a culmination of the experiences that culminated the inner workings of a creative genius. And it is only the beginning of what will undoubtedly be a long and bountiful career.

Aba's chosen style is dark, introspective, grim; vocally he falls somewhere between Buck 65 and Cool Calm Pete
