New York has long been an epicenter for the hip-hop community, but rarely does one glimpse over to Long Island for the latest sound of the genre. Residing in the Hempstead section of town however is the one and only Abel Deón, an emcee who embraces the heritage while moving the ball forward in the world of rap music. By listening to artists like Jay-Z, Nas, and Notorious B.I.G , as well as Long Island artists MF Doom, Rakim, De La Sol, and Busta Rhymes he would garner an appreciation for the lyrical giants that dominated the ‘90s and put NYC on the map. While his pen game is a highlight, Abel also injects an aggressive demeanor to his bars while bringing the energy to stage with every electric set. Not only has this resonated with fans but it as translated well to critics, as both Elevator and Hpnotiq Iconq have featured him for his latest singles. In addition to his recent releases, he has slowly built up his label, BLAQWALLSTREET, to be a budding powerhouse of talent with his right-hand man and producer Dav The Ninja. Eager to shift the paradigm of rap, Abel Deón is not pushing on the brakes any time soon!
