As a product of the legendary Goodlife open mic sessions, Abstract Rude splashed onto the scene in 1994 as part of the famed Project Blowed crew that included LA’s Freestyle Fellowship and Aceyalone. As one half of the A-Team (with Aceyalone), one third of Haiku D’Etat (with Aceyalone & Myka 9) and frontman of his group Abstract Tribe Unique (ATU), Ab Rude has endeared himself to fans worldwide through consistent touring and genre defining albums such as 1999′s South Central Thynk Tank (currently out of print). Once signed to the Beastie Boys Grand Royal imprint, Ab has readied himself to re-emerge with Rhymesayers Entertainment and his most consistent and focused work to date, Rejuvenation. Produced entirely by Seattle super producer Vitamin D (G-Unit, Redman, Young Buck, Gift of Gab, Choklate, Lifesavas, Black Sheep, etc.), Rejuvenation is a hard hitting soulful ryde showcasing Ab Rude’s distinct and unlimited vocal styling.

The famous artists have the facilities of recording their songs in their own studios with all the crew of engineers and technicians helping them with the instruments etc. However, if you are a beginner beat maker, you would need to consider many factors before starting to make your own beats and tunes.

You will need to keep in mind your own budget and the availability of beats and instruments. It is very difficult for the amateur beat makers to take decisions regarding the instruments and the beats they need to buy.

In order to give yourself a start, you should consider buying the beats from the professional artists.

There are many beats available on the internet which you can buy and use in your own songs and tunes. However, you will need to make sure that these beats come from a reliable source and are of good quality. You will need to first consider what style of music you are producing and then you can ascertain the usefulness of the beats you have available.

Also, while making a purchase through the internet, you can first download and listen to the demo beats from any website and if you like their quality then you can buy the beats that you think will be useful for your songs.

There are also exclusive beats available on the internet, which are very costly, but they are of great quality and can be used for the commercial purposes. You can also use these beats to create your demo CDs, which can be sent to the independent record labels. You should record your best songs and tunes on your demo CDs, which will allow you the best chance of being selected by the record labels.

The exclusive beats can be used in your songs; however, you should ensure that these beats are royalty free, which will relieve you from paying the royalties for using these beats in your songs. There are also some non-exclusive beats available on the internet, which do not cost much but since they are non-exclusive it means that anyone can use them. Hence you can only use the non-exclusive beats for creating your demo CDs and they are not for your exclusive right.

After getting the beats you can either use these beats to get an idea from them and start creating your own beats, or you can use them in your songs. You also need to have a computer, this can be a good replacement of a full fledged studio that might cost you too much.

However, you will need to buy some instruments in order to start producing your own music. While purchasing the instruments, always consider if you really require them and go for those instruments only which you badly need to get start.

In this way you can just start and go on with the beat making and producing music.
