United States

Formed in Hawaii, the ABYSSMEN have been making moves as a clique since 1994, recording music with their own equipment, and releasing their first single "Whats A Party with out Us?" and first full length album "Night crawlers" independently. Opening shows for artists like Too Short, Raekwon, E-40, Black Rob, and Das Efx to name a few. A.B.Y.S.S. (A Band of Young Swift Soloists) is more than a music group, it's a family. Consisting of seven lyricists (Black Gotti, Shake Gilla, P-Nal, Blac Mist, Blackju, Calico Smoke, and A-Kilah), a production team (ABYSS Music Production) and management (ABYSS Entertainment). So that makes a total of eight acts; one as an entire group and seven solo acts. Being that members' roots lie in such diverse parts of this country (i.e. New York, Chicago, Kansas City, Virginia, Michigan, California, Louisiana, and Hawaii) each member is able to offer distinct insight to help create a cultivate this unique and universal sound.
