Abdominal is your favorite MC's favorite MC. He's so good technically, lyrically, and word-playically that it's amazing hes not a thousand times more known than he already is.Check out what he has to say about pizza, Satan, and trying to impress his lady-friend.
But first, head on over to his CBC radio 3 page and tune into one of his jams.
Animal Nation: Do you have any cats?
Abdominal: No...1 dog.
AN: Listen: It's December, 2012. The conspiracy theorists were right. There's a huge meteor the size of Canada headed straight for Canada. The Four Horsemen have arrived and they're hungover as heck and totally not looking to party. Satan shows up in your backyard, ready to destroy our planet and everything we've ever known, but he's willing to turn it all around if you can impress him with one of your songs. He's only interested in your music, and he's only got 3 minutes and 34 seconds of free time. Which Abdominal track are you going to use to blow Satan's mind?
AN: That's amazing. What's been the strangest / most stand out recording or performing session you've experienced?
AN: This question comes straight from our guest host and international superstar rapper extraordinaire, Ma$e...
Ma$e: If you had twenty-four hours to live just think
Where would you go?
M: What would you do?
M: Who would you screw?
M: And who would you wanna notify?
M: Or would yo [sic] ass deny that yo [sic] ass about to die?
AN: How many cats does someone have to have before they're considered "a crazy cat person"?
Abs: 1
AN: Listen: It's December, 2012. The conspiracy theorists were right. There's a huge meteor the size of Canada headed straight for Canada. The Four Horsemen have arrived and they're hungover as heck and totally not looking to party.

He's only interested in your music, and he's only got 3 minutes and 34 seconds of free time. Which Abdominal track are you going to use to blow Satan's mind?
Abs: "Heaven's Demon", which is a track off my last album ("Escape From the Pigeon Hole") that's, coincidentally enough, about me being a mercenary sent by God to destroy Satan. He probably wouldn't be too impressed but he might be scared enough to reconsider his dastardly plan.
AN: What is your favorite non-pizza pizza topping? I mean, what might we find on your favorite fantasy pizza that we might not normally discover on a Dominoes Deep Dish? (ie-perogies, Kraft Dinner, a skyfish...)
Abs: A second, slightly smaller pizza.
AN: That's amazing. What's been the strangest / most stand out recording or performing session you've experienced?
Abs: Playing in front of 10, 000 people at the Glastonbury festival in the UK was pretty stand-out.
AN: This question comes straight from our guest host and international superstar rapper extraordinaire, Ma$e...
Abs: Wuttup Ma$e.
Ma$e: If you had twenty-four hours to live just think
Where would you go?
Abs: My girlfriend's place (she might be reading this).
M: What would you do?
Abs: Make sweet, sweet love to my girlfriend.
M: Who would you screw?
Abs: See above (again, there's a 0.5% chance she might be reading this).
M: And who would you wanna notify?
Abs: Nobody really...sure they'd figure it out eventually.
M: Or would yo [sic] ass deny that yo [sic] ass about to die?
Abs: You ask some weird questions Ma$e.
AN: Seriously, Ma$e... I thought you were a preacher or some shit.... Anyway, anything else you want to mention?
Abs: Buy my new album, "Sitting Music", as soon as it drops...which will be some time before 2050. Thanks for reading... peace, Abs.
AN: No, sir. I thank you for the lack of grammatical errors in your reply!
AN: No, sir. I thank you for the lack of grammatical errors in your reply!
