Contents

Known for his self-uploaded rap songs and diss tracks concerning crime and violence in his area, West is best known for being involved in the Drake-Meek Mill feud, and for the extensive legal troubles he has faced across his career. [3] [4] In 2021, West was sentenced to 45 years in prison for drug trafficking. Federal authorities stated that his rap crew and label, OBH, was a gang that partook in drug trafficking, murder, and other crimes across North Philadelphia. [5] [6]

Music career

Abdul West was born on May 11, 1982, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. West began his career as a battle rapper and went on to become a member of Cassidy's Larsiny Family, appearing as a featured artist on his mixtapes throughout 2007, namely 07-07-07 (Happy Birthday) [7] and Put Ya L In The Sky. [8] He continued working features for artists during this time until the release of his debut mixtape Welcome to Trap Street on May 1, 2008. [9]

In 2008, West and Cassidy appeared on the Cocaine City street DVD, where the two collaborated on "City of Dreams" alongside a young French Montana. [10] This would be Ab's first music video before concentrating on his solo career. He released his second mixtape I See Dead People on January 8, 2009, [11] and his third mixtape Allegheny AB on May 26, 2010. [12]

West began making waves following the release of his fourth mixtape Who Harder Than Me, released on February 13, 2011. [13] In 2012, West began working on his fifth mixtape Who Harder Than Me II, which was released on October 5, 2012. [14] The record included features from fellow Philadelphia rapper Freeway, and New York rapper and producer Swizz Beatz who had previously worked with Cassidy during the latter's stint with Ruff Ryders Entertainment. The collaboration, during which Swizz Beatz referred to Ab as "most important new artist in rap", prompted speculation whether he would be signed to his label. [15] [16]

The following year saw the release of his sixth mixtape MUD Musik on February 28, 2013. [17] This would be his last release before his latest round of legal trouble which saw West turning himself into authorities and incarcerated in March of that same year. [3] [18] Complex named him one of "15 Unsigned Rappers Who Should Get a Deal After SXSW" in 2013. [19]

In 2015, West became involved in the Drake-Meek Mill feud after Drake referenced West on his diss track "Back to Back", where he raps, "I drove here in the Wraith playin' AR-Ab". West later appeared on VladTV in August 2015 saying that while he hasn't signed on to Drake's OVO Sound and sided with him saying he was disappointed in Mill's response. [20] Mill responded on August 6 during a performance in Camden, New Jersey where he said "Fuck AR-Ab" and questioned his allegiance to an out-of-town rapper. West responded by releasing his own version of "Back to Back" freestyle on August 8 which dissed Mill and also contained violent lyrics where he threatened to unleash his "shooters" upon Mill. [21] [22] [23] In response, Meek's cousin Omelly released his own version of "Back to Back" freestyle which dissed AR-Ab and also contained violent lyrics. West stated he wouldn't respond to Omelly's diss because he's a "worker". [24] In January 2016, West revealed that he and Meek Mill had reconciled. [25]

In 2024, West released the extended play Road to Glory, presumably containing music recorded before his 2018 incarceration. [26]

Personal life

West grew up in North Philadelphia. [27] [28] He states in his music that his childhood was marked by domestic and drug abuse from his father. [29]

In late 2010, West and Dark Lo formed their label and rap collective OBH (Original Block Hustlaz), which also includes his brother Lik Moss among other rappers. [30] In 2012, West's grandmother died and his mother died the following month. He describes this as a traumatic moment in his life, having already lost an elder brother prior. [31] West is a practicing Muslim. [32]

West has been embroiled in a spate of legal issues throughout his career, and prior to his involvement in the music industry, including charges related to drug trafficking, possession, and violent crimes. According to interviews, he has served time in jail on four separate occasions prior to his most-recent 2013 sentencing related to crack cocaine. [33] [ better source needed ]

In a December 3, 2008, interview with PhillyHeatTV, AR-Ab revealed he was found "not guilty", [36] having spent two years fighting the case. [37] Cassidy had surrendered to Philadelphia police on the afternoon of June 17, 2005. [38] The case took a turn when the primary witness withdrew his confession. On January 25, 2006, Cassidy was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of aggravated assault and possession of an instrument of crime for his involvement in the shooting. He was sentenced to 11 to 23 months in prison plus probation, and was credited with the 7 months he had already served.

Authorities stated that OBH was a drug dealing gang led by West. [49]
