"His sound is clearly strongly developed three mixtapes deep. What I like about Abyss Da Dark is that his music has that early 90s underground, conscious, hip hop sound. Listening to his latest mixtape, Liquor and Love Songs, I get flashbacks of De La Soul, The Roots, Talib Kweli, and Common… that GOOD hip hop for the soul, though he attributes the acts of the latter 90s to his musical ear– such as Lauryn Hill, Nas, and Eminem. His tracks such as“Should’ve Went” and “And For That I Thank You” are smooth beats with easy hooks that carries the mind away. His lyrics are real, witty, and his flow makes rhyming look easy as he continues to flip and change the melodies over a single beat. He’s one to look out for". - DOPEFILES.COM
"Brooklyn based rapper Abyss Da Dark has collaborated with producer Panama Red for this solid J Dilla tribute titled ‘From My Heart With Love’. The first single of album is ‘Things You Like’ and we’re totally loving the quality of production on it" - LastplanetoLagos
"Abyss Da Dark is a good rapper, and a better person" - David L'Creme
Abyss da Dark is a talented up and coming MC hailing from Brooklyn who has bars for days. I was put on to him a couple months ago and didn’t expect to like what I heard but I was pleasantly surprised with what this cat has to offer. The tracks on his project, Forever and a Day are not only instant head boppers but Abyss is definitely one of those people whose got a natural talent for storytelling. It’s something quite rare nowadays, his words are like stories that you don’t want to end, very cohesive, natural and genuine. " - BT-DUBS.COM
