AraabMuzik

Despite not being well known for it, Abraham found a lot of hip hop inspiration in his native home town of Providence. “There’s definitely a lot of Hip-Hop here. You’ll find a lot of local rap groups, solo artists out here that are trying make it, it’s just the fact that we’re not on the map like that just yet.”

Abraham has spoke very little about these incidents having said “There’s really not much to speak on [with] something like that,” in an interview with Noisey.

Dream World was released in July 2016, to generally favorable reviews. Although initially meant to sound like Electronic Dream, AraabMuzik decided to venture into a more eclectic album, catering to fans of different genres, both Electronic and Hip Hop, as well as experimental beats such as "War Cry".

In February 2016, AraabMuzik was shot again as a victim of an attempted robbery in Harlem. He had gunshot wounds to his jaw and arm.

To complement Electronic Dream's sound and success, AraabMuzik began working on a full length official album Dream World, slated for a 2015 release. However, it ended up being delayed numerous times; he was quoted saying "I pushed it back so I could still really perfect it and work on it more, because I didn't really feel like I was satisfied with it."

In October 2015, a track was supposedly leaked from the unreleased Dream World album featuring R&B artist Kelela, named "Final Hour", much to Kelela's disappointment and frustrations which she expressed on Twitter. Araabmuzik's management released an official PR release claiming no responsibility for the leak.

In early May 2013, AraabMuzik was shot in an attempted robbery. He was walking around his neighborhood in the company of his friends when several men attempted to take his money. He resisted and was shot in the process.

In November 2012, trance producer Adam K accused Araabmuzik of plagiarism for the records that he had sampled on Electronic Dream without giving proper credit.

AraabMuzik released his breakout independent project Electronic Dream in 2011, which brought this signature sound of his production to the forefront. It was met with largely positive reviews and garnered him a large enough audience to begin touring internationally, getting booked for various clubs and shows to perform his music using the drum machine as an instrument.

In 2010, The Diplomats released Dipset Trance Party, an instrumental mixtape featuring artists (including AraabMuzik) employing a style that melded trance music with hip hop influences. This would prove to become a large influence on AraabMuzik's future sound. His track "South Beach" sampled Alice Deejay's "Better Off Alone", which AraabMuzik has said sparked his signature samples of electronic music.

The first popularization of his new sound appeared in the comeback single "Salute" of rap group The Diplomats, also in 2010. In an interview with NPR he called "Salute" a different sound "that pretty much got me into the EDM".

In 2009, AraabMuzik was featured as a main producer on rapper Cam'ron's album Crime Pays, producing the single "Get It In Ohio". From 2009 to 2010, he contributed many instrumentals to a series of mixtapes called Boss of All Bosses by Cam'ron and upcoming rapper Vado.

After meeting with record producer and A&R of Diplomat Records, DukeDaGod in 2006, he became affiliated with the Dipset label. He began making beats for Diplomat artists such as Hell Rell and Cam'ron.

Having a musical background lead to Araabmuzik to begin producing hip hop, and had begun getting traction in the industry at a very early age. Having a natural inkling towards the MPC, he went on to buy his first unit in 2005. By 2006, at age 17, he had begun being noticed by Diplomat Records.
