Buffalo-based rapper The Black Abstract releases visuals (shot by Danny Vista) for his new single “The Takedown.” The track, produced by iLL Tone, begins with classic Hip Hop cuts/scratches. Abstract immediately follows and wastes no time delivering an unyielding lyrical narrative to haters and naysayers attempting to take him down and see him fail.

Abstract’s wordplay paints a vivid scene depicting what separates him from other rappers. He mentions wanna-be thugs, weak emcees, storytelling brimming with fallacies, and of course wacky trends. The catchy hook is sure to resonate during this official head-nodder. Watch “The Takedown” and connect with The Black Abstract here.
