I'm a fan of The Crown (the other one, not the Netflix show) and every so often when I go there, either Abdu is about to go on stage or he just ripped another set. His presence in Baltimore's music and arts scene is well known, so I was excited to sit down and talk with him. He told me up front he would know if I wasn't thorough in my research, so I made sure to do my homework and ask questions that'd get him talking. Hit Abdu on the gram, that's where you'll usually find him: @abdu_ali (it might be two underscores).
