Twenty year old rapper, A.B is the newest addition to the UDE roster. Currently residing in Glasgow, A.B put pen to paper and signed a development deal with Underdogg Entertainment in January 2007. Born in Tripoli, Libya, a country located north of the African map, he immigrated to the United Kingdom at the age of three. A.B states ‘…my father brought us to Britain for a fresh start for the family and himself. My father is a graduate student in medicine, he had to find somewhere he could practice, it wasn’t easy, because growing up we were shuffling round different cities up and down the UK…’ After living rough in public housing and council estates in London and Leeds, A.B’s father earned the right to live and remain in the UK, with that came a job in the city of Glasgow. A.B was starting high school at this point, however with turmoil in his family and the constant moving around, he found it difficult to fit in. A.B’s take on the experience is ‘…my school years were a sea-saw of ups and downs. I experienced bullying because the color of my skin, so I kept to myself and wrote poems about what I was going through in my life…’ His situation worsened at the age of 18, after being stabbed seven times. The experience dramatically changed his life once again. He became a more independent figure in the Glasgow streets, running with a crew of asylum seeking youngsters from similar backgrounds, A.B felt acceptance for the first time, with the mind set that enough is enough, and survival is compulsory. At the same time A.B continued to write music. His determination and mission to succeed was recognised by Scotland’s biggest independent hip-hop label - Underdogg Entertainment.UDE are developing this young artist, working one on one in order for him to have the opportunity to unleash his full potential in the right way. A.B is currently working on his first project, a mixtape titled ‘Hip-hop versus me,’ due to be released in spring / summer 2007. The mixtape features artists from the UDE roster ie. Hydro. A.B has also enlisted other talented artists from around the world to feature on his first installment, giving them the chance to shine alongside him. Working ferociously, performing live at hip-hop venues across Glasgow and Scotland, he has put in accomplished performances in places like The Tunnel, Garage, Cube, Essence, The QMU – to name a few – alongside DJ Naeem, guest with Hydro for his performance for Tim west wood and Nikitta (X factor).
