First of all, Abstract hip-hop is an awful term. It doesn't describe anything!

Second of all, I can only go off what I might see as abstract:

I notice you have Edan in your avatar (great emcee and producer btw). If you love him you'll love Dagha who is closely affiliated. His album Object In Motion is great and his last and most recent LP 'The Divorce' was one of the best albums of last year.

Does Doom count as abstract? He has a lot going on in his records so maybe. Either way his material is always worth looking out for and his last album 'Born Like This' was Metalfingers back to is best in my opinion.

I'll try and think of more...

Pretty much anything with Dilla or Madlib's name on it is gold for me. I wouldnt say it was abstract though because both are so lauded as being brilliant that their sound is almost too famous to be alternative. I know what you mean though.

Cloudead are shit though  ;D
